The rain pocks the snow,
Ice and slush mix in puddles —
The bleak midwinter.

Lone goose overhead
Sky leaden with hints of cream
Snow later today

Dawn lights the pink wall
Apple tree limbs cast shadows
Illusion of warmth

The wind is howling
and roaring through the pine trees —
I listen from bed.

Big weather ahead —
waiting for the snow shoe to fall —
bombogenesis.

I’m getting a cold
(an internal response to
the weather outside?).

It’s Winter Solstice—
a bright but short day today—
the turnaround point.
