idaho

we are moving to this place

this place is beautiful.
the delicate snow covered branches
as if God grabbed the earth
and dipped the trees in crystal frosting.
juxtaposition of
sparkling diamonds in the sunlight
but
bitter bites on my cheeks
and the slap of wind in my eyes.
that's what we'll be getting in the cold months.

in the summertime,
we can drive past fields of
honey soldiers in rows and rows and rows
slowly swaying with the bright breeze.
chippy paint barns lean
almost a sneeze could collapse them.
and nearby,
cows give you that judgemental look
and dogs chase you till you wrap around
the world and back again.
