Still Winter

The snow is hanging on to Wyoming,
at least in the ranges.
Santa Monica basks in glorious rays
and Oregon cycles through
rain and sun and hail
but the Rockies mimic Christmas;
white flurries of cold intent,
icy mischief underfoot.
Arms are getting sunburnt in New Mexico;
even San Francisco has lifted its veil
—but the Cloud Peak Skyway
glistens in white drifts
as it quietly steal your heat,
and Yellowstone looks like a postcard.
Spring is, well, somewhere;
but not at 5,000 feet
not even three
but elsewhere, waiting for the thaw
to say… welcome.

Poetic magnificence once again. Down-to-earth magic, always beautifully formed.
