late winter world

light white dusting
over everything
in this everlasting chill 

winter’s long bony fingers
wrapped around earth’s throat
not letting go even though
spring sun wants to rescue her  

I stare at sparkled snow
amid shadows of bare branches
air still now
no northern wind to
drift fingers across highway
making driving tricky
in this demented country  

sky         pale       blue
a late winter world
waiting
waiting
waiting
