Poem 44: March

In the darkened house,
done with grading, I pause
To look out of the window
At the dark husk of winter
Still haunting about our doors.
Mounds of snow, fallen
And shoveled a month ago
Have done little but crusted
And dulled. The snow fort
Now seems like a penitentiary.
There will be no thaw. Morning
Will be just as hard. March,
You are cruel.
