A Sad Girl

Vermont has ways of making things that are harsh and scary beautiful – gorgeous, even!
Icy roads surrounded by woods that look like they jumped out of a storybook.
Icicles covered by a soft, white blanket dangle from each branch.

How can we keep John Lewis's legacy alive?
A good question that is, sadly, hard to answer.
People all over the country mistreating others just because of the color of their skin or their culture.

it's weird
because Vermont winters
are cold and harsh
but feel warm 
and welcoming
sitting together watching movies
and watching snow slowly drift to the ground in the morning
or in the moonlight when all is quiet
