Old Snow

Outside.

There's snow.

Covering the hill and the rooftops of the houses.

And I ran and

Pressed my face against the window pane

To feel the coldness on the other side.

The pale afternoon light

And the sky

Not yet dyed the deep red of sunset

Supported the cool wind

Which picked up

Scattered bare branches

And lifted them like feathers

into the cold air.
