When Grasshoppers Dream of Being Ants

The season will search you out,
deadwood fingers pointing and grasping,
spreading out snowdrifts
to better capture color,
blowing ropes of wind
around the precious prey.

The season need not scavenge.
It is a hunter,
and never was the year
that escaped its mantle.
