And Snow Is What Snow Has Always Been



Of course a quilt is a house—

And of course you can become so enamored
with an image that you become it:

like the snow all over town
and like the snow
all over town you become it.

You have far-reaching talent for
mass appeal and for sending a few thousand birds
a few thousands miles south. And when it is March
you might even melt a bit but you are last
to tuck us in at night
and last to think a thought we wish we had:

what we croon is what we have a deed to, and the deed
is some thing we think we thought we always had.
