Schoolboys in Winter by John Clare Hibernate by S.M.(M).L. Winter wraps itself around us with flakes. Soon we are settled in drifts, beside fires, snuggled deep into down, books read pile up, and the frost creeps up from the pane's corners. Outside the trees are still and sun glitters in the many prisms of ice. Venture out, find lakes' shores treacherously lengthened. Shiver in our scarves and mittens, tremble our deep sighs of breath come in bursts of white; back inside, fingers and toes tingle and warm drinks steam. Soon enough we start to yawn and slip back into slumber like the trees and lake and soil as they patiently wait. What comes next will come, whether we sleep or wake.
