Snow Day

The trees are humming,
a giant hive of winter bees.
But there isn't any snow.
Not yet.

The Fault of Memory

Having to kind of carefully construct the day;
old age is on its way.
Make certain of the order of things:
when kiss; when take out the milk.
So much hangs on habit.
Strike a surprise,
jump the track;
you'll flounder in the snow,
a whiteout that could lose you,
so turn, regain the rails,
and follow them back home.
