The snow falls light

Pre-church observations.  Post-church thoughts will come later.


The snow falls light…
Look…
Movement across the way:
Ducks waddle up the hill,
A squirrel
Furred and gray
Skirts the mob.
Then
Look…
He bounds toward me
An entire slice of frozen bread
In his mouth,
Leaps like a Labrador retriever
Through the snow,
Wrestles his prize
To the top of the fence.
Safe from the ducks.
I thought in the lady in red
Only spread corn.
