Been watching the boys play sledding, over and over and over and wondering about maybe taking them skating at the local rink and my little sister Song keeps uploading more and more pictures of our visit to Michigan over Facebook.
Enter, this poem.
Winter, Lite and Deep
We get Winter Lite on our urban street,
Enough snow for "snowball" in the singular.
A celebratory skiff, scraped off the
Stoop for a carefully accumulated wad.
After a Michigan Christmas
The boys sled in the dining room.
Riding the laundry sack about the table,
Keeps the feel of that downhill whoosh.
Until December,
When we pay our annual respects to Winter Deep.
