Today I walked up a snow-covered hill
and didn’t break through the crust
of ice
this is a delight only venerable
snow affords
thank you
March
***
2014
the calendar worked out
so that February’s Fridays
were multiples of seven
which felt very neat
and orderly and a little
surreal
March not
to be out done
is also laying out
it’s Fridays through the seven
times table
by April we will
all remember
it right up to seven times four
