The Best Snow Ever

it's snowing words! you said in your dream, excitedly
and you were as happy as you
thought you would be.

it was snowing poetry.
and then in the orchards,
flowers. and in the uplands

the cherry cherished kind.
time out of mind! cried the princesses
with their new riddles for Christmas.

and this went on for hours.
and for dream years.
this blizzard of cream filled

language all about our ears
and clothing everything in sight
in light, in Utter light...
