Nine (and Counting)

Sundown shoveling

packing troubles

at the approved hour

Plow pushes worries aside

in hegemonic heaves

Dig the heavy shit

at the end of the drive

Contemplating

a different tomorrow

if only we had chosen

a warmer climate

Still we persist

tossing memories aside

This stitch in time saves

sunrise

and we’re shoveling

For Magaly’s prompt to the Real Toads: RECYCLE A SAYING 
(A stitch in time saves nine.)
