They leave their knee deep tracks in snow
heading south for the winter.
their footsteps falter as they go
dragging in icey unsureness,
their legs are weak.
their ribs stick out.
They pass by the dead of this highland drought.
They pass by the forgotten
the permanent and rotting
Bare trees old blossoms
like veined branches
blood clotting.
Too new to stay stable,
these young deers of spring.
Scared of moon-magic, Rosemary
and sage,
This woman of winter
cold calling
brittle with age.
