the shattering

of bone
a polar tumult as when
black ice booms....”

Spreads the ice sheet on the shaven lawn;
Signing an annual permit for the frost....”

“The little toy dog is covered with dust,
But sturdy and stanch he stands;
And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
And the musket moulds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was new,
And the soldier was passing fair;
And that was the time when our Little Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.”
—Eugene Field (1850–1895)
