the sun god returns
leaving only soft snow drifts
to battle today
only two days late
the snow has taken over
(Lord, save us from drought)
no real snow day
just a cat and a puzzle
dreaming of travel
preparing for snow
though it seems another farce
(thank you climate change)
will the sign survive?
will Snowpocalypse happen?
or are we all flakes?
will a blizzard blow?
is March too late for shovels?
Friday, we will know.
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
cats and flowers rise
as soon as the sun is bright
to welcome rare rain
please, rain, end this drought
this plague of world crises
waiting at the door
i am not here now
forever staring at screens.
i am here. on skis.
