SKI UNTIL THIGHS BURN

 












BACK ON SKIS AT SOLSTICE


Light opens in trees

Body as strong as the light

Tracks until sundown


Climb the ridge behind Hogback

Photograph tiny snowflakes


*














Ski until thighs burn

Cherry pie in the backpack

Still two hours of light-filled


Here among the things to do

Follow snowflakes to fir branch
