Had to scrape the frost
from the window this morning –
our winter hangs on.

The snow has come back –
good thing the shovel still sits
next to the front door.

It’s getting warmer –
they say — it’s only ten now –
almost can’t stand it.

Got some snow last night –
windchill below zero now –
way too cold to walk.

Three deer leap then stand
stock-still in the brown meadow –
black eyes look at me.

The library is
hopping today — cold outside
brings bodies inside.

No spring robins yet –
no winter robins either –
maybe in two months?

Woke up to the wind
howling down Main Street — snowplow
scraped against tarmac.

Snow softly falling –
road covered but warmth from cars
melts it to wetness.

Cardinal whistle
wakes me up — a lovely sound –
he calls from the pine.
