Ice more than Frost – v5

ice more than frost
on the flat surfaces;
flat and slanted
even the doorway

all covered, frozen,
temperature still falling;
well below freezing
that dark, dark night

melting only by applying
the exhaust of the engine;
the car awakening slowly
from its mask of ice

the fields were alive with frost this morning
on NH Route 107 in Epsom, NH, Southbound,
with many vistas of white over the reeds and grain stalks, as
