Below Zero Tonight

Elaine Reardon

When itīs below zero and
quiet coldness radiates
through window frames

Sweep the kitchen clean
load the wood stove with cherry
watch the bright flames dance

roast chestnuts
hold their warmth before you eat
leave cupboard doors open
to heat water pipes
note the shiver of moonbeams dance
across the glaze of snow
