Sample Excerpt:

 

 

Chain Reaction

 

The sky is like flint;

Stars bulge in their sockets;

Down ever road Winter

Has lined it pockets

 

With snow; ice eyes

Glint at their reflections.

A robin cries

In notes of circumspection,

 

Shattering the silence

Into a thousand pieces

Of crystal. The violence

Ensuing releases

 

A chain-reaction—snow

Tumbling from trees,

A hint of movement now—

Uncertainty.
