Last week it snowed and we still had class.
Snow Day
They didn’t cancel school today.
Thus, we were compelled
to brace ourselves and leave behind
the shelter of our incubators,
tucking chins and trudging
through air laced with tiny crystals fleeting
and determined to crown the world
with a layer of stardust.
Our boots left tracks
like snapshots of our souls, etched
into the crushed-diamond coating
on the sidewalk.
We pursued them under trees
dormant
barely stirring in the minty breeze
whose close, insulated cold
felt worth it then, annointed
by snow
