Improv Post Four Week Nine

Midsummer, Tobago- Derek Walcott
This is a pastoral improv of the form the Walcott uses.

Winter, Chicago

Wide frost-flavored lake.

White cold.
A grey sky.

A monumental bean,
mirroring icicled people

from the neighboring states
and cities in January.

Breath I have seen,
Breath I have gasped,

Breath that vanished, like spring,
in my daffodil garden.
