Crevasse: a three person rengay

I am extremely proud to present to you, our astonishing 40th rengay! This is the fourth in the seventh series.

Crevasse

Cast
(in order of appearance)
by
Lesley Scoble (ls), Melissa Lemay (ml), David Bogomolny (db),

The image shows a snow-covered residential street. In the foreground we view the back of young girl in a red coat with a hood. She is reading a book. There is a snow laden willow tree framing the scene.


db:    the worst part 
          of her work abroad?
          ~ their child's tears
ml:    rooftops lament
          in tiny i c i c l e s
ls:     she opens her book—
         why do frozen willows weep?
          as glacial streams flow
db:     fishing in frigid waters
           requires dressing in layers
ml:      bundling up with
           earmuffs and mittens
           life preservers 
ls:       he shuts the book—time to go
                  her mum’s flight lands soon—at last!
