Scraping the new snow
the crystals sparkling
after dropping off the girls
preparing for tomorrow
The flakes like confectioner’s sugar
maybe sifted flour
breaking off the slush from the tires
pushing it to the shoulder
Falling heavy
like too-wet anadama dough
dark and rich with molasses
rolling in the snow
The snow-flour sticking
as if on the cutting board
forming little balls
as if ready for the oven
