Ice Garden
Even in deep winter
Here in the north
Flowers bloom
Delicate fern and blossom
Crystals following
Faintest fault lines in glass
Giving back the cool blue light of frigid, clear sky
Amethyst and rose of sunset
Or silver grey of threatening clouds
Growing
In a different fashion,
But flowering nonetheless
First fragile hint
Inanimate portent
Of waking, uncurling green
To come
