click to see all its glory

Normally I don't post others' pieces,
but this is too worthy of designation.
The purest work of art I have ever seen.
A poem, by Tom Milsom, entitled


twelve inches
of the stuff
fell from the sky
while you slept

it has made
three men
with the help
of little hands

so get up
and come down
to watch the sun
make every flake
sing
a song
of where
the world goes

under the weather
wet and preserved
is yesterday
and colour
sits in your eyes
evergreen
making angels

it used to sting
it used to kill
but we've grown up
and learned to play

and when you closed
your eyes last night
the world let all these
fat,
tired
clouds
make it something new

and now it is time
to show it
where
to go
