Trifecta Week Eighteen

Here's Trifecta's challenge for this week and my response:


Mid-March Storm


Wheeze and peal
trail up from the quarry.

I thought that graffiti'd shack
had been abandoned. 

On the culvert's far side, a man, 
made tiny by distance,
plays the accordion.

On my side, the tips
of the hedge are clotted
with snow like full-blown dandelion.
I blow and wish.

  3. This is very nice. Quiet and understated, but powerful nevertheless.
