earth note 722


pine and maple
hold a snow dusting
in their arms
motionless
like a meditation

the traffic reacts
goes manic
for a tuesday
school buses need to chill
or go on climate strike

a sparrow looking for cover
knows every storm
on the weather map
crows straying from the graveyard
head toward the wake

i've been told that these lines
are sounding too familiar
i can't disagree
need a change in venue
even the dog is getting bored
