whiter shade of pale

 the little bit of washi
that covered junko's work
 spun quickly and rough
 this is how neighbor, 
dan and his helper dave arrived
my knights in yellow armor
 last night there was another arrival
 not so welcome!
porcupine spent the night in the white pine
wendy couldn't do it
and i couldn't follow it without snowshoes
 my knees are below the surface
 trail is the line to the left of the grandmother maple
we got wet
