Burying Time

squirrel runs a nut across the lawn

stops to scrabble frozen ground — no

can — winter isn’t burying time


how does squirrel in hungry times

unbury nuts from frozen lawn?

slender paws with hard claws are no


go on frozen ground — squirrel knows

the drill, always deep in winter time

Vermont, snow warms the lawn


alas — bare lawn, no dig this time
