The snowdrift slammed
dirt plowed outlines
of all my past personas
line up with linked hands
like paper dolls without me as I fly

lurk beneath the branch where I recline
when I land among ghosts
in a suspended house

what grains will stand
on heaps of sap that light has skimmed
what letters fade and blades remain
to release the sleeping flesh
from regimented dreams
and staring ice
