Sculpting Snow Nudes

The one lane bridge & Glen Allen Mill on the Yellow Breeches Creek

               Sculpting Snow Nudes


Did anyone call my mother

to let her know

that my teenage self

(way back when) was

sculpting reclining snow nudes-

voluptuous beings shaped

in newly fallen fresh snow

every winter

on the white bridge.


A narrow one lane white bridge

across the creek of our childhood

down a country road

across from the old mill

still there.


Red bricks, blue sky, white bridge, brown earth-

winter skating on a frozen pond

my virgin self imaging art

before it melts.
