     Moon shrouded by passing clouds glimpses me swishing a soft-bristled red kitchen broom side to side dancing through white powder still falling. Sweeping paths across the deck, down the ramp, through the gate. Sensor lights turn on, off, on. In the warm kitchen coffee waits to drip into my ceramic “live laugh coffee” turquoise mug. The three sleep past their annoyance that I didn’t let them out first thing to compact snow I was sweeping. Candles hold vigil at windows. Rain later today says the forecast.

 

Like weather, life is ever changing.
