Wintersnakes

By Vi Ransel

A poem about seeing "visions" on cold winter highway.

Wintersnakes


Early
on a frigid morning
driving 2-lane blacktop
into the blinding sun,
there
on the asphalt mirror,
long, meandering cracks,
filled with July's hot tar patches
wriggled away before me
like
wintersnakes
