MOUTHFUL

A gal with a very long name

Said 'Well, it's certain that I'm not to blame!

When they called me Katrina

Maria Edwina

My darned parents put me to shame!'

In Memory of Gerald Gee

IMPRINT

It had been there all along....

That memory.

A memory no photograph could ever

Recapture.

A memory decades-old,

Of a different world,

A different age,

A different climate.

Above all,

A different me.

I have not seen snow

For fifty years.

Remembrances of snow

Have faded.

I had forgotten

The reversal.

Earth is dark,

Sky is light,

Usually.

But when the snow comes,

And with it the threat of more snow,

'Snow on snow',

Earth becomes light,

Sky becomes dark.

I had forgotten......

Until Gerald reminded me.
