it_is_november
mon it is snowing
was on my way to bed

clean brushes thoughts of painting
mixture of everything

a couple hours ago i was standing
looking at the sky watching the
snow snuggling down the mountainside
wondering
how close it would fall
if it would clear

i was looking at photographs
of the sun
the northern lights
exchanged sleepy random notes with
somesoul from Texas in a cafe

read monet_on_bartlett_the_party_begins

turned off my monitor
moved a few things shuffled clothes
fluffed blankets pillows

looked out the window
first snow of the year
white flakes on dying poppies

they said it might happen today
if it warmed up enough

wonder if
it'll be there when
i'm done
sleeping
i want to go walking

it always snows
for halloween
not always but
ask anyone
they'll tell you
it's a local fact i love

some years it doesn't or it does
depending on the weather

i predicted
we'd have our first snow
at the beginning of november
just yesterday i said
"i wonder if it'll snow
tonight or tomorrow,
looks like it will"

at the fire meetings this summer
they talked about
hope for an early winter
seeing the snow
i know i can tell my mother
not to worry


i was actually so surprised
to look out and to see
white instead of dark and green
mist and rain

nobody awake for miles
i feel like waking the neighbourhood
shouting singing
it's snowing!
somebody please celebrate with me

wonder if it'll stay
till the afternoon
i'll be sleeping
people will rise
eyes will discover
it's snowing! for them for me it is
like christmas morning
