Nobody

If you can't
bring yourself to build
a snowman or even to clench
a snowball or two to fling
at the pine tree trunk, at least
find some reason to take you out

a snowball or two to fling

find some reason to take you out
of
yourself: scrape a patch of grass clear
for the birds maybe; prod at your shrubs
so they shake off the weight, straighten up;
or just stump about leaving prints
of your boots, your breath steaming out.

Promise.
Don't let yourself in
for this moment again: the end
of the afternoon, drawing the curtains
on the glare of the garden, a whole
day of snow nobody's trodden.

When were you there? I skied up to Diller Bowl camping at Ridge Lakes with a friend on the first weekend of May. We just got out before the storms hit on Sunday.
