Snow Storm
Twilight is creeping on. The snow takes on a blue tint that I have always thought looked holy. It's the blue of the robes of the saints rendered in glass when the light hits the church windows just right. It's the sacred violet of my most gorgeous and eerie dreams that settle deep in memory decades after they were first conjured.

The Harvest
Koyi wobbled to her shabby wood and straw kaz, holding her machete and an old burlap bag with some yams. Someone had laid another basket in front of the patched up door—rose apples today. They were a bright reddish pink, looking waxy and crisp, just the way she liked them. The culprit knew her very well. Those would be crunchy, juicy and sweet—she could tell—but she gathered all the will she could muster and pushed the basket aside to enter her home. She had already said no repeatedly and would not be taking bribes.
