Out of the Blue
Now and then it happens,
often in March, the sun
a dazzle in the bare aspens.
Blown from clouds
hidden behind Bethel Ridge,
snow will fall out of the blue
like sparks, a swarm of glitter,
floating first as feathers,
then cool specks on your cheek,
like tears from far away.
One moment,
youre listing all your failings.
The next, youre with your lover
on a gravel bar,
showered in a confetti of light.
