Wind wiped frozen tears in cheeks
By hands of wintered breeze
Earth made new and newly white
Kites caper cloud to sky
Looping cornered shapes in eyes
By sleight of hand our hands hug
Toes in fortitude of snow and sand
Bones plumb curt in motion
Awoken with the hush of tide
Hallowed ground became the ocean
Kites brush, blush, and shy
Sight made lashes tear, divide
Engraved in beach hopes to fly
