Magic

It was late morning
when the snow
started
coming
        down
              out of a pearl sky,
              milky and gray,
              fat flakes
              falling
              slow
              and
              soft,
              straight 
              down,
                  lights
                  sliding
                  on
                  strings,
                           to the green grass
                                                    below,
one flake
landing
on a dark rhododendron leaf,
still
   curled
against last night's cold,
the flake
a
luminous,
empty,
white
web,
when,
from out a window,      touched,
         my finger a wand,
               water
                       d
                       r
                       o
                       p
                       .
