Time Will Tell

will the sign survive?
will Snowpocalypse happen?
or are we all flakes?

Bereft: Only Toy Shovels Left

will a blizzard blow?
is March too late for shovels?
Friday, we will know.

reality sits
between aspen dream ski runs
and running a house

aspen-lined gold runs
are what make Steamboat special
(we'll always be back)

a weekend with him
after all these years in love
sweet as fresh powder

vaccine aches trail me
but the ski trail excites me
a bluebird balance

ski reality:
perfect, bluebird, line-less days
few and far between

no snow day for us
just the struggle through this path
that is this school year

light frozen in time
sparkling for the morning
(lit for the mourning)

no beach silhouette 
could compare to mountain snow
with my boys up front

my winter puppy
tolerates snow much better
than these couch-bound cats
