Woke up early, early
To me at least, so that
I could watch the snow
Fall and accumulate in
A magnificent white coat
That goes on for miles,
Tucking in the Earth’s
Green hair beneath the
Jacket and her breath-
The wind is pushing
The tiny snowflakes
So that they kiss the
Small of my uncovered
Ankles and I can see
The one opened dandelion
Whose frozen pedals
Thought they had opened
At the right time –
