Snow Cat
From the window she hunts
Snowflakes riding winter winds.
She leaps!
Pinning herself to the screen
Like a snow glob stuck to the glass
Before it seeps to the floor.
Snow Boy
From the window he hunts
Snowstorms riding distant winds.
He wishes!
Pressing himself to the cold
Like a breath that fogs the glass
Before it disappears.
Snow Girl
From the window she hunts
Snow angels riding glistening winds.
She peers.
Angling herself to the glass
Like a ray of sunlight that shines bright
Before breaking into color.
Snow Dog
From the window he hunts
Snow boots trudging through frigid winds.
He dreams!
Turning away from the cold
Like a door that shuts
Before the intruder arrives.
