WINTER ROADS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: In the spring thaw
Last Line: Looking for winter
Subject(s): Autumn; Roads; Seasons; Spring; Winter; Fall; Paths; Trails


In the spring thaw
The winter roads over the cold fields
Disappear
In front of the last sled.

All summer they sleep
Hidden and forgot
Under the green sea of the wheat.

Now, in autumn,
They rise
Suddenly
Out of the golden stubble.
They arch their backs in the sun
And move slow and crooked across the fields
Looking for winter.
