Leave your wishes


The mountains have taken a day
off they’ve pulled the clouds tight
over their shoulders and closed
their door. Come back tomorrow
or later in the week, I’m bingeing
on falling snow, I’m collecting ice
where so little has been, I’m saving
any words for the birds and trees
I’m thinking that the Earth’s turn
has been premature. Leave your wishes
at the timberline, I’ll feel better soon.
