and then winter comes 
snow and wind strong and steady 
and we stop and look out of windows 
to see world changed 
upended 
black and white 
auburn autumn finished 
tilt of earth finally taking over 
el nino relenting 
I reach out through window 
catch falling flakes of memory 
to hold and feel before they melt 
stand with me on the top of this hill 
formed of drifting snow 
through wind tunnel around tall white house 
in this little childhood town 
where all is possible
and we are kings and queens high above our winter realm
