for Jordi and Nuria Now we have locked the doors against the snow And feel it falling at each curtained window, The house walls seem to thicken and resist That movement into flocculence and mist, Shapes that take the impression of the winds, Scarving themselves around the gable-ends, Or piling white oblivion on the stones That once were ways, alternatives, directions Refusing to become what they are now-- The unmapped territories of the falling snow.
Snowbound by Tomlinson, Charles / New Criterion
