Snowfluff in Missoula

Snowfluff in Missoula

This would be a purple haze
if the sky were tinted violet,
a Titian painting heaping praise
on frostbit mountains,
not some gaudy Goya
depicting the blood red flames
of the Fire Season
or the Stockman's barroom brawls,
maybe a Picasso painting
of a blue blue Elvis,
crossing his legs
to warm his balls.
At Ten below,
the indigo Indian
on the corner of Pine
points to the orange sign
above the Oxford,
patiently snoozing till Spring.
In this land between mountains,
it is wise to be patient for Spring.
Come June this would be a purple haze,
if the sky were tinted violet
and like Dali's clocks,
time would sit on the frostbit mountains,
melting, melting.

We were having light fluffy snow. "in a purple haze if the skies were tinted violet ..." came to mind. There was snow last June 11th.

BAA BAA BAA (bleep bleep bleep):

It is sunny and I should not tarry inside at The Senior Center. Ate with Elisabeth, David, Dalton and Paul today. Tomorrow ... brunch with the Freelands.

I soaked in the magnolia bubblebath last night reading a well-written children's ghost story. I picked up some throw-aways at the library. Have plenty to read and if this headache goes way I just might (after a walk downtown).

MILLSTONES and MILESTONES:

This blog will hit 10k in the next 24 hours; "First drum set"  has 90 reviews and 799 views and will hopefully be over 800 by the time I post this. Getting 100 reviews will entail more work.

'zine is still not done. Ah, well ...
