     Winter gloves warm my hands. Leaves fall into the stream, onto land. No wind. No breeze. Sun dissolves frost. Breath visible, unlike the birds heard: Golden-crowned Kinglet, American Goldfinch, American Robin, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Swamp Sparrow, Palm Warbler, American Crow, Blue Jay, White-throated Sparrow. Green crystals wait in a galvanized can for other mornings that need sure-footing. A snowflake blinks on the weather station.

 

Weather changes before the season
