SNOW MACHINE
Riding wild chainsaws
over pristine new snow . . .
At a distance,
who would not recognize
the high-pitched grind
of an angry, young man
in us all?
Who would not question
the ethics of my-fun-
is-your-loss?
SNOW DEVILS
Spirit of the mountains,
turning round and around.
Wind North by Northwest . . .
Put the cameras away!
WINTER STORM
After every storm
comes the day of clearing.
Hope is the motionless flame,
burning bright,
as the winds
rage.
THIS MORNING
This morning
I awoke in total darkness
sleeping on 3 feet of snow.
Ah, hot coffee made
of crystals of ice!
Before first light, the sound
of a woodpecker drumming on Larch.
Right palce, right time.
March the 1st!
We've made it through
another winter.
