 <\/p>\n

decades of bitter winds<\/h3>\n

by Lynda Lambert<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

decades of bitter winds<\/p>\n

whipped and thrashed<\/p>\n

flagellated and whisked<\/p>\n

the row of red barberry bushes<\/p>\n

grasping thorny spines<\/p>\n

blown towards the west<\/p>\n

search the twilight for<\/p>\n

last rays of winter light<\/p>\n

dangling crimson berries quiver<\/p>\n

thin branches poke out upwards<\/p>\n

rom buried roots<\/p>\n

anchored deeply in cold-hardened soil<\/p>\n

saturated with ruddy<\/p>\n

frost-ravished leaves.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
