snagged flurries
veil an old pear tree
with the suffocating
shroud of a final winter
ebony talons
rake brooking skies
search for borrowed blue
scraps of summer
gnarled digits
knuckle ivory drifts
clutch golden goblets
of mulled memories
frosted branches phantom
sprigged spring blossom
through snow’s coverlet
gilded promises gleam
Winter Aconites
brighten dark days
their glowing lanterns
herald new beginnings
