Even garbage glitters tonight
Under the soft, cold blanket that
Makes landscapes of landfills and
Brave, new worlds of car-lined streets
Homes, too
and a Dover beach moon shines red white and
Camo
Atop snow crested bumpers. icicles like
lovely sparkling politicians make elegant
of department store rooftops and adorn hospitals,
glimmering disproof of our favorite
technological conquest: death, slow and
Certain each drop drips down to
the softest of pavements where
Visions of stethoscopes still dance
In their heads, and children
Dream in flights of green, endless stairs,
Abandoning nurseries in pursuit of all that
Gl
