Day 762 of the Daily Poems, we’re just four days into the new year, and the dashboard symbol says ICE. There’s frost on the ground, and our poet Colin Hopkirk feels a shift in the wind.
The wind has shifted
The wind has shifted
North
the dashboard symbol
says ICE
a night fox barks
its sharpened cough
in Germany my aunt dies
(my cousin on the phone)
Broken in German is Gebrochen
The wind has shifted
North
Colin Hopkirk
