Winter squall announced itself
by snowplow’s amber lights, streaking
slow across my bedroom wall
by morning, December steeped in stillness
driveway drifts rose three feet tall
neighbor boys broomed backyard rink
I laced up new white skates, as frosty
flakes sustained their silent fall, later
dragging red saucer and sled, answering
snowbanks’ siren call, we spent all day
laughing, ignoring the cold, careening
down hills — wooed by whistling wind
I hold a snowglobe in my mind, shake it till it shimmers
Long winter settles into view, frozen childhood glimmers
