Generally, I enjoy a good snow, I enjoy eath’s February complexion, but, today, even I look to to the promise of spring. And yes, it snowed again last night. Looking out the window, sipping my coffee, I began to write.

We’ve seen enough
of the snow that burdens
the thin limbs, each branch
coated with a white,
white as bone,
so the trees skulk
like skeletons in the yards,
behind the houses,
twisted arms and fingers
choking, choking.

You’ve seen more snow than we have here in southeastern PA, but today is a welcome relief from the cold. It’s around 40 and that feels downright balmy after the subzero stuff!

Lordy! Could you send some of that to Utah? We’re not going to have any water her this summer.
