severe cold…
…snow
…consider the lines
shapes, rhythms, forms, shades

record breaking cold…
keeps me inside watching sunlight
noticing oddities when out
ordering coffee, tea or hot chocolate… just to keep our hands warm

Each one…
appears as an event.
Ice builds up on rotting cedar.
Moss grows.
A single leaf blows in;
and stays just long enough
Now the wind and rain
rearrange everything.
No ice. No leaf. Just wet rotting cedar cedar.
Meeting over.

at the sink
51 degrees F in the kitchen
-14 degrees F outside
-35 degrees F windchill

So easily lost…
in snow, on slopes, in deep space
so bitter cold
“…on the verge
of tears.” she said
“What can I do?” I thought
