My initial reaction to finchy’s work was not positive. I thought that she is a prose writer and maybe poetry is not her thing. But I have read her almost every poem on this board. I think this is one of her better work.

un de fine able / land scape
the snow / doesn't stop fall ing
fine mist of / silver dust float ing on
minus 10 / / & damn / it's cold a gain
& damn / the ground is gone from sight
a gain / /
a foot of snow over night / & very earth
i walk up on / dis solves / in to
my hands are cold
i stand out side to smoke / & hear
no thing / all sound soak ed up in
to the white / & i wonder
if the trees are cold
& i try to picture them / when the thaw comes
& every little branch / every needle / drips melt
but that's not to day / nor is it / to night
there is some thing to be said a bout
this side of the sun / how cold it is
how / un for give ing / /
