Home II.
By Kelsey Peterson
Snow shakes the limbs
but does not break them,
they hold,
laden with white.
The dusting glints
in sunlight, fastens
to the branch, secured with frost.
There is a way to live.
Each evergreen
bearing snow into the blue sky
knows.
At night,
the pines radiate
a grey opaque
in starlight.
