American Life in Poetry
Ted Kooser
U.S. Poet Laureate, 2004 - 06
It seems to me that most poems are set in spring or. summer, and I was pleased to discover
this one by Molly Fisk, a Californian, set in cold midwinter.
Winter Sun
How valuable it is in these short days,
threading through empty maple branches,
the lacy-needled sugar pines.
Its glint off sheets of ice tells the story
of Death!s brightness, her bitter cold.
We can make do with so little, just the hint
of warmth, the slanted light.
The way we stand there, soaking in it,
mittened fingers reaching.
And how carefully we gather what we can
to offer later, in darkness, one body to another.
--Molly Fisk
