Poem: Snow Globe

BY MICHAEL ESCOUBAS

We look up from our chores surprised at what we see— snowflakes big as quarters floating snowflakes big as quarters floating

aimlessly as in a snow globe found aimlessly as in a snow globe found by curious children reaching into some dark corner reaching into some dark corner

of a bookcase while visiting Grandma’s of a bookcase while visiting Grandma’s house—a winter scene ensconced in super slow-mo. ensconced in super slow-mo.

For one enraptured moment we dance For one enraptured moment we dance in a magical world of white fairies and crystal butterflies— of white fairies and crystal butterflies—

doilies intricately crocheted doilies intricately crocheted landing on collars and cheeks and outstretched tongues. and cheeks and outstretched tongues.
