Coming to tell me of her
sister
stuck in the snow drift
the soft snow of this
afternoon
perfect for the battle
Easy to pack, to rearm,
forts and snowballs
to loose the dogs of war
in our front yard
Suddenly aware
of my statements
taking the initiative
a barrage in sudden waves
Taking to her advantage
the immobility of her sister
laughing at the carnage
until she herself was stuck
Sucked into the snow pile
well above their knees
extricated by their father
in peals of sudden glee
