[One from the vaults, which I discovered in a box of papers only yesterday. No idea when it was written but I doubt it was published anywhere. And how well it suits the weather!]
Ah, I'm not what I suppose
Not this single perfect pose
Or raddled flesh in threadbare clothes
Not a skin that's been tattooed
A crystal helix in the nude
Its molescules all misconstrued
No, I am the arrested flow
Of words that had nowhere to go
I am a shovelful of snow
