Obeah in Winter: This is the weather of waiting/and fogged light--weather/for the long haul, hunkered down,//that drags at the burr-tangled legs/of the dogs leaping against/bitter, wise winter.//Deer stand in knots among the pines.//Beaked nose and hollow temples,/beneath my mother's/taut, translucent skin//the stranger's bones appear, defining/what is: what never will be./How terrible, the patience//of these black hills. |
