Winter’s Corset

Samantha Rose

flames softly kiss the kettle,
liquid froths and broils.
four stomachs
shrink at each stir,
cinched by winter’s corset.
the coal runs grey, flowering
into tired sparks
falling cold and dead.
the dog gnaws
desperately on a bone nearby,
raking it with her teeth
like a garden trowel,
hoping to sprout meat
between them.
past a frameless window
snow bulges
bigger than their bellies,
devouring the cobble porch steps.
eyes suspended deep into sunken cheeks
like a January fog
shift toward the fire,
the white witch kindly pays her dues.
