I wake to
A
talcum dusting of snow;
Shards
of ice designate puddles.
There
are no disruptive voices,
No
tractors to snarl and prowl
The
single-track lanes.
Morning
turns to afternoon.
Same
clouds, same gloom – And into dusk.
Until the skies relent.
I
watch as
Crows
stack flightAbove the horseless paddock,
And a wagtail maps out
The course of an oxbow.
Nothing else moves.
It
is so quiet
I
can hear the pulse of the stars.
