Winter’s trial
Snow, then ice then snow again
Three to five inches
crisp, bright Spring morning
wind blowing snow off cedars
falls on crape myrtle

stick frame of teepee
made by boy and grandfather
waits for their return

casting black shadows
red tailed hawk circles backyard
perching on feeder

Chinese proverb – When sleeping women wake mountains move
like water splashed ink
shapes emerge in snowy yard
nighttime receding
