After the melt,
beside pale stubbled fields
sandy roads climb

After the melt
mountains of black crusted snow
stacked by the plows

Beside pale stubbled fields
memories of summer crops
in breaths of spring

Sandy roads climb…
tree buds begin their journey
into uncharted sky

(Roads are sanded to increase traction on winter ice. The debris is eventually washed away by spring rains.)
