Snow Berries

a sprinkle of purplish

berries rests on a

white crust of snow

outside your gleaming

front room window,


inside the heart of

this big house

the heater heats

and the tv speaks

assorted babel to

our warm and

hopeful ears,


and yet, I can’t wait

to traipse up these

several stairs where

we’ll tuck and be

tucked in, and

under, the softest

thickest quilt Grand/

ma ever built


to doze deep snooze

long burrow easy

like shining cozy

berries reflecting

winter light.
