Higher than a Kite
by Richard Doiron
1
she sees the brown grass
sticking up through the snow
–her unruly hair
2
this strong winter wind
shakes trees as if forgetting
that the leaves are gone
3
treetops in the wind
bumping into each other
–winter's knockout blow
4
reeling in the trout
through the hole cut in the ice
–mother threading needles
5
snowflakes from up high
the little boy heard saying
"higher than a kite"
volume 12(6)
