a moment of beautiful – icicles

with 13 comments

the space: drip line of a house on a winter day

the beautiful: icicles

~

On the day after an increase in temperature, when the snow from the roof is melting, the front of our house, on the south side and in full sun, is always dripping and making icicles.

They glitter and sparkle, sculptural wonders of frozen water.

ice storm

~

for three days

freezing rain and willow

have hung uncertain magic

along the river

~

ice in layers

laid on the bones

of the tree tops, branches break

candy-coats crack in the sun

~

I refuse the sparkle

resist the awe

worry

the bones will not recover
