suddenly awake snow from high branches down my neck ~
brushing off snow the night before brushing off snow ~
a could dances best weightless in the winter sky without a partner ~
nesting season robin and I both feeling creative ~
jealous when winter touches blue mountain distant stare of snow-capped eyes ~
my reflection in the deepest blue growing closer the eye of the storm ~
at the salon not making eye contact rain on the windowpane ~
noon as dark as dawn no winter sun breaks through replacing the bulb ~
I stifle a laugh pedestrians navigate black ice ~
my door, a wall of snow building a defence for my hibernation ~
