Desert of White
Wind and rain
      have begun to change
winter's landscape.
The snow is fast disappearing.
Wind is drying out the roads
      and land and buildings.
On Thursday
      temps will be in the sixties
          and all will be ready
                 (and convinced)
that winter is finished fashioning the land.
Ah, but on Saturday
      the wind and snow are
            set to return.
Spring . . . but a mirage
      in a desert of white.
