THE DAY OF ICE FOR GROUNDHOG
Ask the tree how
does he/she feel the heavy ice
on the delicate needles?
First was snow pulling down the branches
now the ice is even worse
Somewhere the ice is sitting on
the top of the snow
The solid stuff is suffocating
a breathing tree
Many people are not aware
how harmful
is a frost
on the living trees
even when they are dormant
in the winter.
Some thoughts on a memorable Groundhog day.
