march 15/SHOVELGETOUTICE

45 minutes
a foot of snow (roughly)

Bring Me the News is saying we got 8.5 inches, but that reading was from 10:30 this morning, and it has continued to snow all day, so I’m not sure how much is on the ground. I’m guessing a foot. It felt like a foot as I tried to shovel it. So heavy! I joked with a neighbor that it’s heart attack snow, which is funny until it’s not.

I wonder if it the paths will be clear enough to run above the river tomorrow? Future Sara, let us know!

This one, which takes words from “Still Life” is my biggest one yet: 6 pages! Here’s a draft of the poem (the || represent when the words are taken from different places in the article)

you look at sky, || you look at || words || and || don’t || see || the || gaping hole || and || its || graveyard || for || failed || cone || cell || s || you see || snow flake marble dust || seltzer || fizz|| a || nothing|| that || is || something || not || shar|| ing|| its || secrets

you || can’t || exhume || the || bodies|| but || you can || make || room || for || life || in this place || where || the dead || are || interred

crack || open a grave|| with || a || new || way || of || seeing

Too much text? We’ll see!
