snowy castle
in a picture

I guess there are snow castles
made by snow like sand
though
I guess clouds are
easier
depending on the day
and the sky and who
might
be looking
up

an Aurora castle
from the original that’s in
the picture by
the way
or a fortress as a series of blocks
forboding with the arrow slits
in made-
up
stone through which to shoot

or
whatever the imagination
wants to invent
then
guiding the body to make
maybe with a follow with whom
the vision
could
be
negotiated

or you know the fort
large enough
for two
and
to set up against another
to
let the snowballs volley
and never mind the winner since all those
win
who get something warm to drink
once
back inside

and this for some could make
the snow day
that
we
well
the children are having
today
Monday after Saturday’s
and Sunday’s
storms
