Frozen Image by Raymond A. Foss
A walk in the woods Down the path Away from the road, Bustle of the highway Cold of winter Catch of air Crunch of snow Snap of branch
A burst of downy wings Festooned the ground A vole track Ended abruptly
Impressions Catches of light and shadow The beat of predator feathers Pressed Thrust into the crust
Frozen image Fleeting, under melting Life and death Of the road Down the path
June 24, 2004 15:26, about a walk on the Nineteen Mile Brook Trail Alternate site, off Router 16 just up from the Mt. Washington Auto Road, one January morning 5 years ago.
