January

January by John Updike January sunrise by CloudyskyJanuary sunrise by Cloudysky

The days are short, The sun a spark Hung thin between The dark and dark.

Fat snowy footsteps Track the floor. Milk bottles burst Outside the door. The river is A frozen place Held still beneath The trees of lace. The sky is low. The wind is gray The radiator Purrs all day.
