Love the smell of wood burning on a frosty morning when I head in from hanging clothes on the line.

This morning’s hard frost

makes such clear lines,

like a single voice

in a jumble of

autumn’s noise.

“Frost makes a frozen confection

of my lawn,

while ice forms

too soon

upon the pond.”

The ground is encrusted in ice this morning

while the pond is liquid still

reminding me that

in my dreams

I was frolicking

in lovely, temperate waters

that suddenly

began to swell.

Alarmed, I made my way toward the bank

and just as I lifted myself out

what was once fluid, grew as solid

as the earth.
