Snow
I am a little boy
playing in four feet of snow
snowforts and shovels and boots
in a white, white world
and all at once...
I have wrinkles around my eyes
and my feet feel like stones as I stand outside
on these bare cement blocks
in the middle of winter
in this desert...
with no snow at all.
And I wonder not what happened,
but how did it all happen so fast?
but there is no one here to answer me,
just the sky turning into night
and the hope that in the morning
the clouds might be
thick and dark
and rain down
snow.
