lawn & street white thick
with new snow hung
in bare branches &
hunched in the heavy
evergreen needles
beyond the sky
grey almost to white
then caught in a glimpse
only wing flash of blue
black lifts angular
out of shoveled blind
across garage corner
to what landing above
& out of sight

The stars wheel over
The Cross drops its image
Into the watertank.
