Just above zero;
Even sunlight seems frozen
On the still snow bank.
Familiar street sign
Cocked at crazier angle.
Snow just keeps creeping.
All's white and shadow;
Glowing bright and azure sky;
Fingers that won't warm.
The stream is frozen;
Just tiny trickles survive;
The air is all ice.
A school bus passes
Crunching softly on the road;
Everything's muted.
Muffled like the snow
I walk in a silent world
Framed by my footsteps.
Where is the mail box?
Bent so far down in the snow
It will disappear.
In a fleeting flash
Two deer float across the road--
Instant memory.
