Snow fell overnight - light, very cold,
a five-inch thick blanket of white.
Early morning, a crow cawed,
the sound etched in the crisp, dense air.
Later, the sun cast shadows of tulip poplars and hemlocks
on the pure white canvas outside.
Cardinal grosbeaks sang,
as the long, straight shadow of the tulip poplar
slowly dialed from west to east.
