March 20


Late season snow, heavy and wet and crunchy on top. A smattering of deer hair across the trail: looking back for the source, I see the melted spot under an apple at the edge of the woods. Up ahead the corgis have found a pawed up place. They roll exuberantly in the scuffed grass and leaves. A meager spot for dinner, but a superior place to squirm out your joy.

The night scene unfolds
in trail marks—deer bed, beech nuts.
Drift away at dawn.
