Plant all my roots in rich brown earth
and stretch my branches wide.
Let golden rays of morning sun
fill every space inside.

along a winding trail.
Let the sweet air fill my chest;
lift me like a sail.

The old ones took a stand,
inured to suffering.

Snow image from Andrew Wyeth – The Mill

I’ll take my snow behind a window, please.
Let it fall freely past the frosty pane,
whilst I sit in my parlor quite at ease,
boots dry, exempt from sidewalk, stairs, and lane.
