Frost on lingonberry leaves: photo by Steffan Enbom, 31 December 2003
The cherry ball on the mercury stick drops off at three zero
Off to the left the iridescent glow of the sea glances
Gold and hard in the thin indifferent sun
Ah and all the green and glowing things wonder what hit them
Nasturtium hibiscus and clover shriveling
Noiseless as fear in a wide wilderness
This silent blast from the polar freezer fuses
Leaf arteries into obelisks of bright glass
