Snowy Bivi, sitting out a winter storm

Snowy Bivi, sitting out a winter storm . . .
On the road in the American Northwest.


SNOW MACHINE

Riding wild chainsaws
over pristine new snow . . .

At a distance,

who would not recognize
the high-pitched grind
of an angry, young man
in us all?

Who would not question
the ethics of my-fun-
is-your-loss?



SNOW DEVILS

Spirit of the mountains,
turning round and around.

Wind North by Northwest . . .
Put the cameras away!



WINTER STORM

After every storm
comes the day of clearing.

Hope is the motionless flame,
burning bright,
as the winds
rage.



THIS MORNING

This morning
I awoke in total darkness
sleeping on 3 feet of snow.

Ah, hot coffee made
of crystals of ice!

Before first light, the sound
of a woodpecker drumming on Larch.
Right palce, right time.
March the 1st!
We've made it through
another winter.
