Radio Snow Elsewhere

Radio Snow Elsewhere

During the night the radio
reported snow falling nearby,
in the next town.
And so because their weather there
is what we’re due to have here soon,
the world was a ghost of itself
and we were due to wake to white.
Except it didn’t happen
and the morning was cold, moist
and quiet and any snow we might have had
was already already gone
and the world was no more than the ghost
of the ghost that we didn’t see.
