  • A Change Per Season

    A Change Per Season

    From a series of poems written during my stay in Lapland.

    White above,
    white below,
    and a belt of trees.
    A perfectly ironed sheet.
    Every now and then
    a skier here,
    makes a ruffle there
    on this soft draping,
    doomed to melt
    in a few months.
    Earth here gets bored
    of wearing the same clothes
    all year around
    and requests a change
    for every season.
