Winter Piece

American Poetry Review, The,  Jul/Aug 1996  by Martinson, Harry

Delicate ermine tracks

cross lightly

in eights on the winter snow

there where a hidden ice-brook with its white fur roof

winds forward,

there where the swirling water had scooped out

a rippling bowl,

the otter drinks from the ice-eye.

When the children in red woolen caps come

to hear the singing of this polar roof,

the otter digs into his cave

and watches their eyes through chinks in the ice.
