chip'in'n'blind'in
seriously spooked to suddenly discover
that colleague cris has shared
both mountain and downhill mentors
hope to have been influenced
in some way
by that grace and speed
and the ice desert
short story:
in a whiteout long ago
under The Glacier
trusting and following
our coach (cris?
and other trainees
but wanting to make blind tracks
in untouched deep powder (as it falls
went wide
and on the outside edge of a curve
(where snow was cloud
just dropped
far and long enough to wonder
how far and long there is to fall
