gordon nosworthy - winter

it's growing cold
winter surrounds us
we need to build a snow fort
to bar winter at the door

winter embraces intolerable weapons
designed to break wills
an unimaginable might
to break our snow walls apart

summer's run away
leaving tracks in the snow
exposing bits of frozen green
with no will to grow
