If You Want to See Snow

or anything white
and cold
drive east on I-40
until you pass through a
canyon of
scissors -
Tijeras,
on some maps -
and watch as the foothills
turn less xeric
by degrees
you can see even as
clouds move but seem to
stand still above
your head.

Once in Tijeras
(the town, not the canyon)
go south or
north until you find it.
The forests of ponderosa
and fir
will rise to meet you -
you will not
be alone.
What you do when you
find it,
however,
is business entirely
your own.
