under construction

some things are ending
and others just beginning
the wheel keeps turning

boxes filled and emptied
open arms five blocks away
a new vista waits

seasonal verbs

when the blizzard hits
torporeal* sluggishness
and denning* sound good

warning: keep
some water & food
stashed in car

steam rises
sweet hot chocolate
and sprinkles
