Paw Prints and Yellow Snow



My eyes to the treetops 

white with frost and rime

backed by brilliant blue sky 

and drifts of gauzy cloud........


But I really should watch 

where I’m going so

eyes to the sidewalk 

and threat of ice........


banks of snow, yet to see the 

gravel of spring, regularly anointed 

by the many neighbourhood dogs,

sniffing and lifting a leg in relief.


“Don’t eat the yellow snow.”

~ Frank Zappa
