and warm enough
to have the windows down
the sound of the falls
blew in and whispered
come over here…

We must always listen to nature whispering.

the noise from above distracts
my contemplation of the thaw.
though the lines appear the same.

whether looking up or looking down.

Looking back. To another time. When doing laundry and a workout meant the same thing.
Free, non polluting energy. No membership fees. Clean clothes.

Where am I?
Who are you?

At the liminal edge.
Between states.
Melt or freeze?
Give or take?
Arrive or depart?
End or begin.
Both and… either or…

as you linger at the threshold of zero.

with two foot drifts driven by 30 to 50 mile per hour winds.
Doesn’t look like much from a distance.
Though the aches in the muscles and joints, after five hours of cleanup, tell the tale.
