PHOTOGRAPHER'S DIARY:
Now is the unloosening,
The chill grip
That snaps the chord,
Silent ministry of ice.
From the cadence of the clutch,
Shoulder to shoulder and swelling to full blush,
Unstrung at that trice.
Bitter ministry of ice.
Through scolding sun,
The mushroomy smell of rain,
Even wind's terrifying embrace.
Oh, mysterious ministries of ice!
