Thanksgiving

Winding, wild whites
Lash the amber yard
Burnished beam and
roof defending
Lakes, all leased to ice
reticent and hard,
beacons of a season bending-
to an ending.
Staid, arthritic buildings' bones
buckle and complain
rhythmically, their music moans
crackling with the rain
some will suffer icy stings,
others feast at fires
rosy, glowing gatherings
as the year expires,
dead tired.
Cross the wild weeks
sweets and salts and sours
promise through the process, pining
doughy, apple-cheeked
waiting to devour
all the gathered greasy dining
supining.
Through these leaden, dimming days
swollen at the seams
ice-encased, the pineys play,
sway in sleepless dreams
biting howl, braying loud
all along the way
bloodless hand and covering cloud
burgeon in the bay,
always.
Til then I'll be there
squinting through the night
keep your ovens warm, through comforts cold,
or blessings bright
ringing in the snows
waiting on the wing
soft and gaily glows...
Thanksgiving.
