A Gray Light Sparkles

Branches thatch a spackled sky. Snow lays itself down to sleep lightly. An airborne coyote-itch addles drops of sunlight until they drizzle. Splatters of graying-green on the hairy chops of groundhogs as they scrape up a scant buffet. One Scarlet Cardinal bobs, its ruby flounced headdress scattering scads of frost. Winter shucks its hoary hide, stepping through a muddy mirage of Spring. Fanged winds pounce. Puddles of rain return to ice.
