Pas de Deux
By Marianne Jones
Snow travels a great distance,
coming to rest at last
on the hospitable bushes.
How generously the branches stretch
to accommodate its weight!
How gracefully they arch, like dancers
or gymnasts, bending to receive
snow buds that bloom
on their reaching fingers.
How the snow shows its gratitude
by adorning their starkness!
