Path

hemlock branch loaded with snow

you block the path

under your shadow I reach for you

shake shake

uncovered you spring up, weightless

I wait for flakes to settle

my glove, shoulders a scatter of white

now the path is unburdened

I carry no burden

the path can’t be freed

I search for the path not there

fox, bobcat, crow

trees fallen, rocks bare
