Hibernate

Hibernate

behold, 
the lump of toads.
a knot.
they lay silent. 
beneath the limbs,
that held the umbrella, 
of freshly fallen snow. 
motionless. 
they lay silent. 
beneath the blanket, 
of freshly fallen snow.
motionless. 
they lay silent. 
warm, 
beneath the fallen fall leaves, 
that lay beneath, 
the freshly fallen snow.
radiating.
a pocket of warmth.
motionless. 
silent. 
waiting.
for the spring’s sun.
warming.
melting.
glow.
