begin and end with wind

    LOGAN PASS VISITOR CENTER            

Wind

           clear

as a double pane

                     window

sleet and snow

drive parallel

to the pavement

"is it like this

every day?"

tourists ask

"except for a few

days in July"

a ground squirrel

           begging

           concrete

                  steps

knows when to pose

probably even proper

                    shutter

                   speed

it's slick and wet

                now

a spot of blue sky

if you're quick

          you might measure

raw snow ridges

Oberlin fading

in a blast

of sleet and wind
