Ski versification in the off season


When people wear their sweaters,
When snowflakes fill these letters,
I’ll kick and glide upon my skis,
Slip and slide until I freeze.
 
Me in 1982, about to go ski my first skiathon (a 20K race on the university of Alaska trail system)

Wondering about winter—
When will snow fill this hollow?
Wandering on my skis—
My Finnish ancestors I follow.
