The Leaves Blew West

Stefani Christenot 1976 (PA)

Easterly winds shifted an icy ground.
Blanketing a wet snowy field.
Leaves threw your shoes into the tornado
Coming towards the log cabin house
That day

West the cat sat still as a statue
Glancing at the mice blowing
Leaves shifted again and hen fall as fairies onto the snow blanket
