POETRY

Snow Tread Hearts
the morning after dad died
two snow tread hearts
in front of our house
bold
in their space taking
from delivery truck’s
tired grooves, perfect
three point turn
graceful execution
twin arches
heaving sympathy and joy.
flinging fast
stubborn November snow
appearing the previous night
fresh, settled. No longer
sifting through black
clouding our dusk.
Dual heart tips
point at me
moving me forward
two exact compasses.
