Saturday skirise

with wind, snow, and little lines

we won our morning

missing work’s worth it

for packed powder, fireworks,

mental sanity

what rocks a Monday?

zero-calorie pickles

for pre-dinner joy.

searching for some snow

the mountains promise cloud walks

with limitless views

school year summary:

a fallen stack of metal

held by weak plastic

made it till dinner

on nothing more than black tea

with a hint of mint

i just want to win

something for 2018:

my wedding ring fits

mint and chocolate tea

without a spoon of sugar

got me through the day

chasing snow today

traffic and treacherous roads

couldn’t stop my skis

though these are Nordic

Denver rarely offers snow

so i powdered through

too many tallies

mark the world we march on

let us stomp them out

my parents, my girls,

my husband, my right to march

all marred by #metoo

let’s march out the marks

impeach our closed government

and let women win

made it past two weeks

(fuck 500 calories)

up day tomorrow!
