From the Library of Book Cliffs

Just tell the truth. Yes, do. Too bad
The truth is so contrarian
And more easily done than said.

Tuesday diamonds frosted the snow.
A little warmth and by Wednesday
The surface was a hard, slick glaze.

Beautiful things seem to do that.
They pass in and out of themselves
As restless as the rest of us.

A full belly and a warm seat,
A little extra idle time,
And something pretty to look at:

What kind of useless truth is that,
When it's so wonderfully bleak
Out there, knowing the snow must change?
