Yellow fleece

“Ice pools” photographed by Sanford Ross Bender in Stowe, Vermont on January 26, 2025.

He wore a yellow fleece,

Wherever he might go,

Until the night he vanished,

In the falling snow.

But following his lilting music,

Along the brook’s icy flow,

I found him in the swinging pines,

Radiating in luminescent glow.
