Rose Stalks in snow

My lines mark absence,
the long lack, when sap lies low
and only thorns show;
footprints my presence,
recorded ephemera
on yesterday’s snow.
White fills in blank space,
telling tales of buried things;
silence – no bird sings.
Hoarfrost-wizened leaves
cling to withered tendrils, chilled
remnants in stilled air.
At eyeline’s corner,
edging my monochrome frame,
faded berries stain.
Though this season numbs,
I’ll bide my time till Spring’s core
calls colour from the store.

Gerda Stevenson
