Winter’s Child

Poem by Susan H. Bowker

The snow’s first flurry

draws winter’s child outside.

Arms spread wide

two rudders in the wind

she spins,

(eyes closed)

tongue exposed,

head back to the sky’s bounty

and captures her own crystal treasure.

She imagines

it’s icy lace

kissing her tongue,

microscopic beauty.

She pictures

each icy edge, intricate and shiny.

She smiles

and spins again.

And I,

dislodged from my dread of cold,

(pulled to the vortex of her spinning

as a dim moon)

join her,

head back to the sky’s bounty

to capture my own crystal treasure.
