the biggest thrill
opening my eyes
peeking out the window
SNOW
everything covered in white
Mom says no school
yes
the choices
get back in bed and read a book
tv
catch up on homework
nah
waiting for my little brother to wake up
putting on layers of clothes
dragging sleds for what seemed like hours
our favorite spot
sliding down in seconds
then many minutes back up
looking at my brother’s red face
blue lips
and leaky nose
having a hard time feeling my toes
time to go home
the long trek back
knocking on the door
shedding layers
stiff fingers
shivering into the heat of the house
slowly gravitating to the kitchen table
to wait for hot chocolate
