Salvation is the churning cloud
that covers the sun for two days.
Salvation is the snow that comes down
in quiet fury and mounds in white
across the sidewalks and streets.
Salvation is the clear sunlight
of the third morning after the
blizzard. In the waking day
purple smoke wisps from the
tops of skinny chimneys. Below
them we move slowly in boots
and damp work pants, searching
for a different path.
