smothers all that's outside
indiscriminately
it wasn't aiming for the tree.
The tree
stands resolutely still
as it has for fifty years
it wasn't stretching to catch the snow.
Yet the delicately frosted twigs
seem the careful work of an artist's hand.
On every branch
the white on top
meets the sepia underneath
without even trying.
