The snow gave way under my feet- whump, whump, whump
sometimes it cracked liked brittle bone but then it went back to
whump, whump, whump
I walked carefully, for fear I’d slip like last time
and that I would slide
like the last time
down the side of the hill into the arms of the jagged black rocks below
whump, whump, whump
crack, crack, crack
so I walk carefully you understand
on the side of the road
covered with snow
because
it is always covered with snow
for me.
