A Winter’s Morning

All night the wind swept over the house and through our dream. Swirling the snow up through the pines, ruffling the white, ice-capped clapboards, rattling the windows, rustling around and below our bed. So that we rode, over wild water. In a white ship breasting the waves. We rode through the night on green marbled water, and half-waking, watched. The white, eroded peaks of icebergs sail past our windows; rode out the night in that north country and awoke. The house buried in snow, perched on a chill promontory, a giant’s tooth. In the mouth of the cold valley. Its white tongue looped frozen around us. The trunks of tall birches, revealing the rib cage of a whale, stranded by a still stream and saw, through the motionless baleen of their branches. As if through time, light that shone. On a landscape of ivory. A harbor of bone.
