making snowmen
In winter, the snowy roadside slopes keep a record of events. Animal tracks, snowmobile trails and sledding runs each tell a story of adventures in the snow.

On a drive to Mactaquac, we saw yet another story being told. Narrow tracks, each with a small snowball at the base, document the activities of gravity and wind. I think they are taking the first steps toward making snowmen along the roadside.

snow games

at first
wind and gravity
collaborate, roll
the heads of snowmen
down the grade
~
wind nudges
the tracks, plays games
of parallels
and criss-crosses
~
gravity tires
of rivalry, abandons
bodiless heads
in the snowy ditch

May you encounter interesting stories on your winter travels!
All my best!
