Breaking through

This entry is part 15 of 91 in the series Toward Noon: 3verses

 

Fresh holes gape in a maple trunk,
as if from some Roman
soldier’s lance.

The new, smooth ground of ice and sleet
hasn’t quite set;
I keep breaking through.

Cardinals peck at the plowed road,
gathering faux teeth
for their reliquaries.
