battered branches
litter the brown earth
snow frozen and thawed and
frozen again
brown ponds of frozen ice
deer search for meager
meal amidst leafless bushes
and all creation seems to
sag
the earth is tired
beneath a pale winter sun
then quicksilver
bright
topknots jaunty
quail
skitter through the bleakness
excited over
some invisible feast
and scatter again chattering
leaving joy in their path
