crossed ski tips --
a pileated woodpecker
on the white fir
tap! tap! tap!
a nodding red crest
against bright green moss
breathing hard --
pull up a tree, woodpecker,
and stay awhile
wings blur --
the gentle sweep of the snow
falling from the treetops
a shared smile --
the stump, stump, stump of ski poles
on the uphill climb
