Entombed in the
driveway
Like whales
beached on the sand
covered in the
dunes, the drifts
each car, like an
archaeological dig
ancient Egypt,
layers to cut through
a treasure
discovered
found buried alive
as if forgotten by
time
an individual
sarcophagus of snow
the layer of sand,
of time
pushed away,
carefully, gently
markings of make,
model
vanity plates,
some kind of code
all giving way,
slowly,
to the shovel, the
brush
the rays of the
sun, warming,
falling on the
part of the world
melting the snow
of yesterday’s storm
exposing the
bodies, lying, waiting,
from inside the
sarcophagi of snow
