Dim and gray today;
No sunlight shines anywhere.
Even white is dull.
Small red globe hanging
Above rotten green pepper.
(Humans interfere).
Collette eats a bag
While Olivia scratches.
What's right with this scene?
Snow plow and blizzard
Have toppled the garbage cans,
Lying quietly.
The stream is silent-
Scattered group of white islands
Lie on still darkness.
Soft gray shadows fall
As sun filters through the clouds;
Then turn dark and sharp.
Tiny roadside pond
Is just a stain on the ground.
All water has fled.
Birds on the fence post
Disappearing suddenly.
(Were they ever there?)
