WS

summer the boy drowned
shallow riverrun pond
knowing
just the numinous
negative edge

later winter
snow over
frozen lichen
sharded walls
half-gantries

yes I've been
cold long enough
to listen like that
to hear the high-pitched
crack
of the season receding

compressed tightly enough
to stand on
low and level enough
to see the seasons
enjamb

somewhere along
where the boots crossed over
