Subject(s): Winter
THIN sheets of blue smoke among white slabs ... near the
shingle mill ...
winter morning.
Falling of a dry leaf might be heard ... circular steel tears through
a log.
Slope of woodland ... brown ... soft ... tinge of blue such as pansy
eyes.
Farther, field fires ... funnel of yellow smoke ... spellings of other
yellow in corn stubble.
Bobsled on a down-hill road ... February snow mud ...
horses steaming ...
Oscar the driver sings ragtime under a spot of red
seen a mile ...
the red wool yarn of Oscar's stocking cap is seen from
the shingle
mill to the ridge of hemlock and cedar.
