Is it snow or sky?
And winter isn’t even here yet
This is said in mid-December
after a blizzard
in Minnesota
Things get finished up
and begun
on timetables that do not belong
to seasons not your own
Quick quick slow slow
who is to say
quick or slow
when the snow lies flat around the swing set
and ski jumps the slide and
casts irregular shadows
and lays across the yard some more
with the tree limbs mirrored in it and one star overhead
What is there
that is not yet here
when there are no trails left to walk?
