We march, animatronic yetis waiting
for our moment
that dream of love and melting:
the world moves different in the cold –

trickster as teacher

what’s the rain well just another
instrument another educational

wait long enough in the cold
the cold becomes some

of past warm remembrances
a teacher of keeping the heart
safe from that ice in the veins
