Dull, gray light
seeps from the morning fog.
Dark trunks of oak
lift their thick columns
into a flat, pewter sky.
Long branches have shed
yesterday's snow.
Dripping to the ground,
exposing soggy brown leaves.
Small pockets of ground snow
are pocked by falling drips.
Small silver drops
cling to tapered twigs.
As the end December approaches,
the front edge of winter
waits to begin
its long, stubborn stay.
