The snow falls

After Federico Garcia-Lorca’s The Moon Rises

NU Magazine - April, 2012

When the snow falls,
the rooftops hold still
while blankets of white
tuck around their edges.

When the snow falls,
outspread branches
lean to embrace
the dusting of flakes.

When the snow falls,
the sky covers the land,
and children form angels
in a transient heaven.

When the snow falls,
snowflakes of a thousand faces,
smile down upon
the covered earth.
