from Illuminations

My son squats in the snow in his blue snowsuit. 
All around him stubble, the brown
degraded bushes. In the morning air
they seem to stiffen into words.  
And, between, the white steady silence.
A wren hops on the airstrip
under the sill, drills
for sustenance, then spreads
its short wings, shadows 
dropping from them.

– Louise Glück (1980)
