You mean snow before winter? Snow -- not frost -- on the pumpkin? Snow before Halloween? Yes, that's just what we had around the Hudson Valley of NY. Some photos of the fall foliage with snow on the ground should be enough to convince -- sometimes the seasons do meet in strange ways. More sights and sounds at blog.amynelsonhahn.info, and happy halloween!
Felded wise
Who knows how long ago
it was the snows came
so fast so early,
burrowing their felted mitts
their tilted spirals
and endless spiky gyres
amidst the coppers and glares
of half past harvest?
It lilts our insides just a bit,
to see it so transcribed --
the seasons so rudely
overlapped
like amber
resting astride
an ancient vein,
treasured
yet oddly contained.
