WINTER 2001
 by
 Margaret Walther

clutching her walker

she stumbles the hall

      ice multiplying in cracks

           how long can I

           winter my mother


her hands scurry toward me

hungry as mice

      I lift an owl wing

           the unremitting snow

           blizzards us together
