Sharp peaks jab the sky
dark pines wear thick coats of snow
blue skies over all

Mountain time
Sierras, Rockies
young bucks compared to
old granny Catskills.
Snowbound
Door blocked by drifts, wind
knocks me back. Cold smack of snow
shouts Stay inside, fool.
Grey day
Desaturated
world caressed by soft, wan light
all sharp edges dulled
Career change
This is why she can’t
move back East, the cubicle
life too dim, dull, stale.
Out of the woods
We both had bad dreams
but she’s okay, Portland-bound,
scratching poison oak.
January thaw
Like skin, snow sags droops
puckers. Tears slide across a
hard crusty surface.
Snow
So light, delicate.
But under its weight trees crack.
Roofs collapse. Hearts fail.
Winter storm
Snowfall as music —
light flakes grace notes, blizzard chords
pounded in fury.
