Snow – duncancleary

#39/365

Tiny snow flurries –

Small birds hunker in the hedge ~

Welcome distractions.

Fat snowflakes falling –

A top floor nightclub lit up ~

A city’s flurries.

Little gusts outside –
Dislodged snow, slowing shifting ~
Her shallow breathing.

Surprising breeze sounds –
Dislodged snow slowing shifting ~
Her breaths are shallow.

She shifts on her side –
Rhythmic breaths, at rest for now ~
Before my snoring.

Pruning Buddleia –
Before the Spring really starts ~
Then, of course, it snows.
