Snow

The powder floats down

Like an infinite, sheer curtain.

Zoom in

and you can

Follow a single flake

Parachuting through the air

Until it lands and is lost,

Assimilated by the white frosting.

The lawn sparkles

Like the sea.

Pretzel stick limbs are smeared

With peppermint cream.

Every bush bows low

Under the weight

of pure, white snow.
