equalizer

the house was boarded up with snow, only margins of light
showing through the cracks. ice wrapped our cars in glass.
from my window, the backyard was white drapery, not
what I remembered yesterday, not mine.
and snow is like that--
God's way of reclaiming territory, taking back
or erasing what was yours. Snow,
an equalizer, everyone's pest.
