Poem: Snow Together
March 23, 2009 by John Hewitt
Snow Together
One night at the hospital
I watched it snow
Which in Tucson is a next to never event
I felt bad because my mother
Couldn’t see it through the reflection
Of the lights in the room
And I had to describe it for her
Falling down and collecting on the windshield
Of my
And every other
Car out there
Light snowfall
Are natural attractions
But in the room it only made
My mother grow restless
And I eventually returned to the television
Because that was something she could see
And feel somewhat comforted by

Another wonderful piece, the somewhat gentler mood a nice leavening of the others in this sequence. (I’m not sure you actually need that line: “Are natural attractions”. I don’t like it much, sorry! Authorial intrusion.)
