weighing down the boughs of the

A gray day out there.
Snow’s coming—I can feel it—
the air is heavy.

Two degrees out there —
snow pops and squeals when the car
moves up the driveway.

architectural sins are
covered by fresh snow.

Waiting for the big blizzard
to slam the Northeast.

Snowflakes drifting past—
one, then ten, then seventeen—
a languid snowstorm.

Flock of chickadees
flit through the soft green pine boughs
flashing their birdness.

The road’s edge is black —
salt and dirt — winter’s remnant
in spring and summer.
