a white cap slides off


a white cap slides off
a copper-top solar light
in the spring snowstorm

The Spring snowstorm that started last night continues all day, tiny flakes falling steadily, but with the temperature hovering just at freezing, not much accumulation. The blacktop highway glistens with snow melt, while our gravel road is white only on the hill sheltered by a tunnel of trees. Walking to the house, my footprints in the fresh snow quickly turn into puddles. At the gate, a cap of snow has slid off the copper top of a solar light, one frozen teardrop clinging to the edge. Weird mixture of Winter and Spring.
