A Midwinter Prayer
Snow covers the ground
hides deer tracks
Halligan's tracks
car tracks--
everything that walks or moves
is still.
And yet the snow falls.
Snow plows are still.
Tractors are in run-in sheds
or barns.
Everyone and everything
waits for the relentlessly accumulating snow
to stop.
Just
stop.
Please.
