Albedo

she’s a natural here

                              winter woods

          snow, snow melt


                                                            grainy slabs of basalt

                                        yet tense, fearful

                                                                                grief has her 


here where once she strode

                              now she’s dimmed

          so fruitless to say


                                                            time heals — nothing heals, though time

                                        blurs, softens, mutes

                                                                                & nothing stops


pain, ready

                              every second

          to flare, to flame


                                                            yet sunshine on snow

                                        boosts albedo

                                                                                cools the earth
