ice recedes
the solid white
pocks, goes white to gray
gray to film to puddled
puddled to lace
between river rock bottom & ice top
a melt hole grows
a dark space shows
cold winter air
ice above, water below
silent ice loosens to chortling water
yellow pebbles
water-churned rocks & stones
melt hole joins melt hole
ice recedes
land wears no more snow
no more winter
river water as cold as ice
