The Sweetest Sign - Concretized

Vital fluids drip
            into the bucket
        below.
Corn snow underfoot
        a stark landscape
              black and white
          trees, snow and
        shadow.
In the early dawn
     our breath clouds
              and the air
                   smells of
              woodsmoke 
      and new maple 
syrup.
Surely 
         the sweetest 
                   sign of spring!
.
