water finds the path . of least resistance, but can’t .in the freezing cold
as if by magic . the afternoon commuter . will have a clear road
where lines intersect . a position is taken . understood or not
after the snowfall . driving a narrow alley . means driving in ruts
a snowfall affects . everyone the same way . yet differently
a tree in the woods . enjoys anonymity . alone, it’s exposed
from the wind and snow . a shelter presents itself . without opinion
heavy with snowfall . the pine bough bends, patiently . under its burden
the twisted branches . go unseen until the snow . makes them obvious
the ice builds slowly . almost unnoticed, until . nothing else is seen
