Moments of Happiness 1: stripes

This entry is part 1 of 6 in the series Moments of Happiness

 

i follow my mother’s tracks
following a porcupine

where it dragged a tree-
filled belly over

the snow striped with shadows
like the sky striped with clouds

the black-and-white
of woodpecker wings

on the horizon the other
end of this very mountain

curled like a blue cat
in the January sun
