Ice
Walberberg Seminar

Head down in words, then up
to the frozen lake that made

sounds like trapped seals,
walruses underground. Is ice

ground? As uncertain of this
as of what we meant by home

we walked on it nevertheless -
authors of our own destiny,

hallooing each other in the cold,
watching a pair of skaters

weave rings around all the questions
our boots posed carefully, this time.
