Janus

snow swirls furiously
in January wind

looking with two sets of eyes
backward and forward
and both yards fill with strata of
flaky
time

what does a year of
tests
-----diagnosis
---------------more tests
--------------------------waiting
-----------------------------------surgeries
sickness
----------diminishment
-------------------------treatment
------------------------------------recovery
----------------------------------------------setbacks
constant worry

mean?

the back garage door bangs open and closed on creaky hinges

I go out through the front door to fix it
shutting it and
move forward on a new layer of snow
