When Winter Dies

by N. Andrew Spackman

The full third moon of passing
winter rears up
against an x-ray white orchard.
There are tree skeletons.
And puddles like black eye sockets.

My naked feet sink in snow.
They break through
the crust like a skull.
Underneath, mud swallows my toes.
Bruised eyes open where I step.
