For David Karetsky April March killed in an avalancheA
-
Putting the skis downB
in the white snowC
the wind singingD
the blizzard of timeE
going past your eyesF
-
it is a littleG
like being snowed inH
in the Connecticut houseI
on a day when the worldJ
goes awayK
-
and only the white dogL
follows you outM
to make fresh tracksN
in the long blue shadowC
of the mountainO
-
We are all halfway thereP
preferring notQ
to think about itR
-
You went down the mountainO
firstS
in a blaze of lightT
reminding usU
to seize our livesV
to live with the windW
whistling in our earsX
and the light bedazzlingL
the tips of our skisY
-
and the people we loveZ
waiting in the lodge belowC
scribbling linesA2
on paper the colorB2
of snowC
-
knowing there is noC
holding onC2
but only the wind singingL
and these lines of lightT
shiningL
in the fresh snowC
