Snow
Emily Anderson

cut holes in paper,
fold open or enfold

snow. Her home.

Her bowlful of
crystals coughs
metronome
home and close

your eyes and open

your mouth (whose
mouth? my eyes are closed):

We came in from the snow to my brother's new haircut

home is over

there, just over some
of my buttons are done

up but oh
the ripped eyelets
and the drifts along the shore

open your mouth, hand
fool of crystals, one
one thousand

hold

one

I can make cocoa,

one, in your hand

make it snow

one,

open me suddenly one thousand
