Week 04: snowfarers

21.
those about to wake
dream ice puddles where mice swim
one more winter storm

22.
the mice from the shed
pad softly through the garden
hunting winter fuel

23.
a squirrel arrives
branch to branch to roof to wall
oh that box of nuts

24.
the snow falls melts falls
full with possibility
the sleeping garden

25.
evening shovels
the path and roadside are cleared
me and the russians

26.
communal the box
a mouse climbs in for dinner
the nuts are so big

27.
walking is easy
the girls think so they are wrong
my shoes just say no
