Today new snow lay
waiting upon the road like

Snow in the city

Those white streaks are snow
flakes, like meteors they buzz
Columbia's gates

A sheltered spot, green
blades punch through the crust of earth
more snow comes tonight

melting in the rain

Leaping lightly, I

slush on this dank day

Snow comes tonight but
now liquid golden sunlight
pours down on the streets

a human life shines

Funeral rose buds
dying now -- coral, white -- lie
layered in this bowl
Feb 21 - Thursday
Daylight through glass doors
though the work day's well over --
spring is sneaking in
Feb 20 - Wednesday
Swirling flakes, happy
Orange fans converge and I
diverge but swirl, too

Snowy tracks tell me
a doe fell down on my drive --
I hope she won't sue
On receiving a gift from my sister from Florida (thanks Suzi and Rick!)
Feb 18 - Monday
Biting into snow-
y coconut dipped in choc-
olate -- the scene shifts
Feb 17 - Sunday
Snow flakes hit the face
cheeks sting, shoulders hunch --
my friend walks with me
Feb 16
Drip, drop, rivulets
gleam silver next to fresh snow –
mud time is coming
Feb 15
Heaps of gritty snow
plowed up on to the sidewalk
block my progress home
Feb 14
Succulent fruit tarts
obstruct my Lenten fasting --
Curse you, Dan Wegman!
Feb 13
Ashes, ashes: snow
in mid-winter turning black
transfiguring earth.
