Jingle Bells
by Ethel Mortenson Davis
In winter
sleigh bells went around
the bellies of the black and bay,
four velvet ears ahead of us,
jingle bells on black harnesses.
It was in deep snow
when all was quiet
and the horses began to trot
that magic began to happen,
when erythematic music
of a prancing, running march
through forested land
filled the air,
prancing feet
touching down into our hearts.

Power
by Ethel Mortenson Davis
The sailor
understands
the power of the wind,
adjusts his sails
to capture it.

Chokecherries
by Ethel Mortenson Davis
Ripe chokecherries
on the branch
remind me
of the bitterness
of winter’s coming.

Gray-White Geese
by Ethel Mortenson Davis
Put your arms around me
to keep the desert winds
from blowing through me.
Now!
As the snow clouds have gathered
like gray-white geese
gathering on water.

The Reader
by Ethel Mortenson Davis
He has taken
his dinner with delight,
relishing each morsel,
tasting each bite
by rolling it
on his tongue.
He mouths the words,
forming them
on his lips,
smiling,
as he escapes
to his world —
the one called ecstasy.

Long Distance Runner II
by Ethel Mortenson Davis
“I run because it is my culture.”
“My father is not there for me
because he is a drunk.”
“The runners with me
are my family.”
“My culture says that I must greet
the sun by running.”
“I think about my future
when I am running.”
“I think about what my life
is going to be.”
