NORTH WINDOW by HORTENSE KING FLEXNER

First Line: LANDSCAPED WITH FROST AND ZIPPERED FAST WITH ICE
Last Line: REALITY OR A DISABLED CHAIR.
Subject(s): COLD; NORTH, THE; WINTER;
Landscaped with frost and zippered fast with ice,
The window in the north admits the stare
Of sunless sky. The clock shall change but twice
To tell of time and the chill light lay bare
A steadfast scene, where thoughts explore as mice,
Reality or a disabled chair.
