February Landscape
a long train slowly on the far side of the field passes
and the snow just begun rolls in like tidewater
on the train a young father points to show his daughter
the snow but she's asleep her head against his warm middle
her easy drool her little furnace of jelly and bones
galloping asleep to the rhythm of the train
