I've been wanting to celebrate with Laura Shovan this month and not quite getting there, so our 2-hour "cold delay" (???) this morning seemed like a great opportunity to catch up and write in response to a couple of Laura's Sound Poem Project.
Sadly, my internet seems to be freezing in the pipes along with everything else, and I can't follow the sound links Laura has posted (and I have no idea what's going on with the formatting)...but I can listen to my house waking up and to the crazy creatures outside who don't appear to know that we are setting record low temperatures here in the DC area. It's currently 7* with a wind chill of...
Nine Below Zero
below below
the frozen mark
there's whish and sweep
of wind, and hark--
below below
the frozen sky
snow-winged birds
let fly their cry
below below
the frozen branches
blubbered squirrels
announce their antics
below below
the frozen ground
the bursting bulbs
murmur a sound
of sleeping green,
of hushed persistence...
below our listening:
spring's existence
