White light

The light from the bright light 

of daylight 

in snow-light 

shines in through the window 

and dazzles our eyes

It snowed and it snowed

all day and all night-light 

and now its a curtain 

of swathe-shapes 

so bold

some become figures

the trees with their fingers

all fussing about in the gardens 

of neighbours

others are goose-pimpled

skin-like white smoothness

nipples and stomachs

so pregnant 

and cold

white the sky

white the land

white our hands

white the landscape

trees grey all worrying 

on their way to the lake

which is fake

only flakes

form its surface

all piled on the ice

winter is blooming

with blossoms

so nice (old meaning of this word!)
