Not winter yet

The earth clenches
frozen lumps of soil
even the big trees look brittle
like stick drawings.

Late in the morning
the grass sweats
it is not warm
but it is no longer so cold
as to hollow us out
a stream of hunchbacks weaving
the fastest path
to a door.

It is not winter yet
we are only being tested
reminded
the ice will come
and we will wish
for the charity
of rain.
