the bowl is open
for us to earn winter skins
winter wind and all
Mountain-Eating Clouds
snow
Colorado Born and Bred
Berthoud Pass driving
sisters learn two years apart
same day, different face
Ski Date
snow like stardust
sparkling in morning light
to begin our day
Ice, Water, Steam
a cold winter walk
along the Colorado
right where it begins
a hot springs retreat
to strip the cold off our skins,
bring heat to our bones
Snowpup
another failed day
ends with a quiet snow walk
(just let those flakes fall)
Evergreen for Everyone
a cold, windy morn
finding our legs on the ice
that waits for winter
COVID Birthday
ice-cold Tuesday night
(ice skating on a weeknight?)
icing on the cake
we must stay outside
we must wear masks, be cautious
we must learn to live
all out of the house?
all the teens out together?
all the miracles
the boy taught himself
the boy had never skated
my boy taught himself
The Tree Savior
some rough beginnings
can end in the perfect way
for a perfect day
Snowantine
no snow day for us
but i ski between meetings
beating remote games
Teen Life
some glow before snow
our weekend wrapped in moments
without argument
