Frost on the Leaves

The valley crackles
Ice under foot
White sheets over limbs
We sit awed

Didn't see it coming
A frost like this
There will be foxes
Testing our succulent hens

Keeps the other half busy
Washing and warming stuff
Better that way
No need to talk

She will look out of windows
I will retire to the shed
Both looking to a life frozen
No winter thaw our bed
