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
