Snow Stuns All

Sunday 17 January 2016, 8.30 am

Snow stuns all:
Black-wet earth,
Bark-soaked limes,
Mist-blanched bush,
Ice-crisped grass,
Haunt-hunched birds,
Melt-dripped roofs,
White-stretched streets,
Noise-mute cars,
Grey-lumped sky,
Lead-weight sea,
Freeze-breath man,
Life-death’s gasp:
Snow stuns all.
