A Poem by John Calavitta


Winter's Tale  
   
Pine trees change their stance 
bringing what we ask
 
carrying dead boulders
North into the future
 
looking at the sky through a knitted hat 
the shirts we sleep in 
 
like a fraying stocking
our hunting guns tucked in bed
 
no one pays attention 
to the oracle of a barking dog
 
or a wet dog lying on the floor
waiting for the word dismiss
 
now an entity, like a random moon 
that trees askew
