he shows up early
snow white short cropped hair
matching the new snow on your driveway
black bowtie completes his formal look
and you feel underdressed as you invite him in
for an older man he seems restless
always shifting position
never truly comfortable
until he sees the postcard from BC on your piano
he gets up to examine it
snow tipped mountains and lush green valleys
he is mesmerized and says nothing for a while
then he tells you about the changes in life
mountains and valleys
and how he always looked for the harmonic
interconnectedness of everything
invisible strands weaving and tying through all experience
and you look at his bowtie and smile
