On the First Day of Winter

To my surprise, the world outside my window
is covered in snow, with more shooting down,
and a pair of cardinals waiting, and one of
the little birds, too, as if they were posing
as a Christmas card and if you opened it
rays of laughing joy would leap out
and it would be signed,
“Love, Yes.”
