Won't you help support DayPoems? Oregon in WinterBy Timothy BoveeBorn 1946To any man who'd bring his sorrow To Oregon in winter--what kind of fool Would drop his tears to increase Grey Atlantic's burden of salt? Or add a lump to all the coal In Newcastle's darkened yards? Or sell Fine igloos freon-cooled to Inuit on Canada's far icy coast? Erect a fan on Oklahoma's windswept course, To guide Tornado's drunken path? For surely when the rain and fog Creep down from Cascade's peaks To Willamette's gentle thighs, Oregon in winter brings sorrow enough To measure out a lifetime's worth Of tears and bonefelt cold, warmed only By the hearth and kin of home.
