such snow fall
holding white on green
pine branches slumped
& on the side
streets deeply white
& rutcut confusion
slide & slip
pery shift &
corner shuffle
off or into curb
or park & wend
kicking up white
to classroom & then
poems discussed to be
broken happily by
new mother & her
two week old
replacement for
a poem or two
never missed in
the pleasure of
