Garden Sky

Cold outside and in,
The old house
Cracking in the frigid night,
And icy spears breach 
The sagging window 
Sashes as the wind blows 
Steady across
The winter palate
Shaped by absence:
Gone the green
And florid flourish
Rioting from the ground,
But oh the sky
At daylight's end,
Unobscured by those 
Other seasons' wealth,
Is lavish in its splendor.
