a shivering unrestful night
we glimpsed
with sympathetic awe
a tempestuous golden
woodland scorched
by malicious snow
our bitterest drives once
reeled along
the tumbling leeward
shore whose vindictive waves
and storm-tossed port
made us shudder
homeward toward comfort,
safety, faded quilts
the dire violin posture
of jeopardy must graze
our unmentionable mortalities
seeking refuge as we age
before rushing
headlong into such
a perilous voyage
