Ruth and Marion Clark for sharing their wonderful cabin at

 Coyote Snow

All winter I've waited,

here in Portland,
for these trickster flakes
while every day rain
slops from the water-logged sky
and the temperature never drops
like it does back home
in Michigan, so fast and so hard
the day breaks in half
before your eyes.
Today's flurries lope
and lunge,
drunk on peyote wind.
I swear they almost grin,
white ice flashing.
Some float like down
from a million Snowy Owls
hoo-ing in their old growth woods,
nearly extinct too.
I fear I'm falling

seven floors
as I watch them plunge
and bite the street,
the pines, the concrete pots
and vanish. No text of tracks,
no thin skin hiding veins
of walk and highway.
No canceled school, yet
hope hangs visible as breath.

Resurrection of the Animals, Michigan State University Press, 2002. ProQuest Ebook Central,
 We're nervous, still.
Coyote snow, snow of the old tales,
kick up your ruckus
while we hunker inside,
wide-eyed as rabbits.
We count your whiskers twitching
at the burrow door.
Your furry paws scatter
the white dust.

 Meltdown

It's the first of February and 40 degrees

in Michigan. Snow runs over roads and drives
like a broken egg. Listen: you can hear
the ground swelling with water, the trees
drowning. Roots are trying to come up
for air. Birds sail in on wings of sun.

Something has gone wrong at the core

of winter. Heat rises in the wrong places.
Each morning I wait for the north wind,
for the blizzard that wraps up the town,
the storm that makes the record books.
In the forecast: rain.

If the temperature dropped 20 degrees

there would be 20 feet of snow. My house
would lie like a low dune, the sea line
just beyond, surf frozen in its leap
toward light. There would be no drip
of gutter, no icicles ticking like bombs.

 The Pond

Spring's showing off,

this last March day of winter,
flaunting all her promise
across the drowsy hills, flickering
in the redbud for any Doubting Thomas
still cowered indoors.
It's chilly, though, and the wind
prickles my fingers with porcupine quills
as I unloop the steel chain
from the gate, rust streaking my hand
like dried blood, and start down
to the pond. The cows have been, too,
sinking into the red clay, squishing
out craters of water opaque
as an earthy milk. I walk on
the grassy edge of a trail starlit
with bluebells. There's rustling ahead,
brush gossip, and plops into water
as the pond swallows.
The turtles heard me coming

and submerged, no interest in intruders,

no curiosity under their shells.
Farther on, two Canada geese
waddle my way and we pause
on the trail, facing like gunslingers
in the old west. They fire off
a Honk! Honk! before I can raise my camera
to take aim. But they're quick
on the wing, squawk off to the water
