Signs of Winter on Campus
Blue bottles of
Antifreeze at
The gas station
On the edge of campus
Are buried in snow
Letter of recommendation
Requests
Flutter into
Inboxes
And rest there
Buildings and Grounds
Delivers bulging
Bags of salt
A lone shovel
With a broken shaft
Due dates
Mark the end
Of the fiscal year
An imaginary calendar
Dies on the page
