accumulated. Waking, I observed
the town brought low,
the mountains deified,
the firs weighed down with snow,
the kerbs preserved
as abstract forms, the merest guide
to where the road desisted, and the broad
escarpment reared
and soared
and softened to plateau:
an old and broken face, a beard
of snowy pine
in morning monochrome.
