Look at winterWith winter eyesAs smoke curls from rooftopsTo clear cobalt skies.Breathe in winterPast winter nose:The sweet scent of black birchWhere velvet moss grows.Walk through winterWith winter feetOn crackling iceOr sloshy wet sleet.Look at winterWith winter eyes:The rustling of oak leavesAs spring slowly nears.
