March Squirrel




March Squirrel


Wedged
blackly in
branches encased
in clear unbroken cold,

seven weeks from zero.

Nothing in your paws
to peel or rotate,
your jaws gnaw
chronically

on hard, budless bark.

Winters
all have ends
save one. You and I,
can we mine null hours

to find ice flowering?
