It snowed today. All day. I'm amazed by how much it's snowed. Driving home from the city on I-89, I could barely see the hills in the distance through the veil of white that was falling, falling, falling...

Storm. Colors fade from
Black to gray to tan to white -
Magnificent white.

In Winooski, I passed a Sudanese woman carrying a toddler in a calico baby wrap on her back. Underneath the carrier the woman wore a brown parka but no hat, scarf, or gloves. She looked cold, as though she'd been walking for miles. Just before she left my sight, a visible sigh rose from her plump lips and disappeared on the wind. "That must be a hard life," I thought.

Multicolored back
Firm eyes dulled by bleak routine
Carry baby home

I have too many scarves, I wish I could give her one...
