January 15 - January 19 Week 54/72
a sifted sprinkling
of powdered sugar snow
making frozen patches visible
along with wintry Lilliputian worlds
populated with half inch fungi and feathery moss
snowflakes linger in the shadows while I chase
moving wedges of light across the yard seeking
to recharge my soul with face turned up to the sun
muscles relaxing into the warmth imbued with
the sage wisdom of a thin old cat who
comes to visit nestling herself into
the corner of the front porch
basking on flagstones
now radiating heat
