a touch

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
