15,934. SO MUCH FARRAGO

SO MUCH FARRAGO
Querulous the jumble shop wherein
everyone wants to slide. Best friends
forever, but put that aside. Now is 
Winter, as the ice-skaters glide.
-
I can do a twirl  -  in my mind  -  and 
a nice spin on the glass. Ice-like-glass,
I mean to say. And then a hawk soars
down and alights on the ground, but
there's nothing to eat, nor to be found.
-
A thin-glass silence settles the air where
the monks are out now, skating too. They
light a fire on the edge of the ice and
huddle between skatings for warmth.
Then it's back to their cloister for
prayer and meditation once more.
(I wish I was among them, but,
really, what for)?
