Ice Storm, 2014

Spheres of crystals jewel a tree,
Garland power lines in mist,
Along the ribbon of I-70,
Gracing the abyss

Of rusted signs and silos,
A belt of steaming cars
From places longtime lost to snows
Swirling on the scars,

The hanging silver spectacle
Of traveling bazaars
Suspended from the icicles
By the passion-clouded stars

That ornately trace
The tinseled miracles we chase,
The limits of our former heaven,
With the vehicles we’re given.
