5 feet of snow
Sits around my house.
Apple trees hold snow
On their limbs
Like heart crossed lovers.
5 feet of snow
Covers the ground
Like a white
Mink coat my momma wears.
5 feet of snow
Can be a blessing
And a condemnation.
The snow saves
The snow kills.
The apple trees know
How many will fall.
How may will provide nutrients for their roots.
In 5 feet of snow.
