The Spike or Victoria University College Review 1935

Winter Morning

Winter Morning

A Chill white draught breathes on my back.
I awake. . . .
The wan wintry light thaws Night's frozen black
Which melts

And tumbles in fright o'er the frosty hills.
The timid sun glances in windows, wet and streaked,
And stays
To paint the walls a cubist tapestry
In dusty gold.

The moisture on the mullioned, misty glass
Sparkles and glows. . . .
Chill sweat of Night
Sheathed in the numbing cold
Of Winter's translucent, frozen gold.

—J.K.A.
