Heat Goes Out Walking in the Cold
K. A. Hays
 
 
It seems possible, and I've been told, 
 that even the dying, who don't mean to, 
 stow at the ribs1 yellow mint, 
 at the liver the waft 
 of split tomatoes, and April's peas 
 wire and tendril up, unruly, 
 at the backs of the eyes. 
 
The old story: Decembers, 
 fiddleheads unwind 
 in a cat's worn foot pads --
 and far in a man's deaf ear 
 tug the brown wade 
 and gold peeping 
 of May ponds. 
 
Hard to believe, most days, 
 that under the ice-tilted walks, 
 plantain aches yellowly, hums 
 in August air. Or that even 
 in the spine2 of a mother 
 who grieves for her child 
 wakes dame's rocket, unwilled, 
 gangly, soon 
 a sapling with the tough ears 
 of elephants. 
 That's the sapling the dead 
 blaze into, summer walking in winter. 
 Yes. In wind-wracked limbs, 
 green wick, thaw3 the core.
