Frozen Marsh

Steam rose
Over the ribbon threaded
Through the frozen marsh
This waking

Frost encrusted the
Silent cattails,
Highlighted the skin of
Still-green reeds
Browning leaves, rushes
And skeletal scrub

Ice too soon
But chill only today
Ready to bleed away
With the dawning

Pair

Craning to glimpse
Around the bend
Behind the trees
Hiding in the fog

Our swans
Finding solitude
Beside the other
In open water

Alone together
Away from the bustle,
The noise,
Of the road
