No Timidity with Snow
It does nothing to conceal itself,
piling up on streets, crowding
the spaces between branches.
As we walk home from the bar,
I reach across the gap to vanquish
the chasm between our footprints.
Darkness settles all around, but
windswept flurries stand in for stars
and every surface shines like the moon.
