    midnight in wyoming

     it's  midnight in Wyoming
    a fresh foot of snow
    lays atop an existing foot
    the moon is full
    i drive thorugh the middle of the sheen
    the sides fall away from my truck's
    wheels
    like softly sculptured waves
    in the side mirrors
    the virgin trail i leave
    sparkles in the moonlight
    like small diamonds

    Yes, on this one I can definitely see what you are describing. You open the world of the snow to someone who avoids the cold like a plague. I didn't in my youth, however, and I remember walking at night on the moonlit snow. Thank you for reminding me!

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
