 I saw the entombed

Face of my frozen self
Holding a branch of an oak tree
With acorns 
and a boat my father built
Named for his mother
Ruth
I saw NYC in the snow of 1925
And the Little Church Around The Corner
Where theater people were told to go
I saw the streets of Saugus MA in the winter
And my VW bus window wouldn't roll up
My fingers were frostbit 
By the time I got to work
