Looks Like Snow by Robert S. Dean

Saw a red fox run by the wood shed today
The morning light made his coat look gray
He caught my eye as he went below
As if to say it looks like snow

Heard the wind last night blow through the eves
Rattle the pines and bend all the trees
The river runs but it’s running low
The weather guy says it looks like snow

I let the faucet drip like a grandfather clock
Only 8 degrees it’s too cold for a walk
Our Navajo blanket and a murder of crows
Tell me tonight that it looks like snow

You moved in the spring with the fields still brown
The lights went dark all over our town
Yeah the light and the dark like partners in crime
Keep the days and the nights frozen in time

Saw a message this morning 5:02am
I wrote you back but didn’t press send
The moon is still up and the fox laying low
I’ll come back later cause it looks like snow
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
