It is not February in Ohio without snow. Yesterday the roads were clear. Today, they are a mirage. Snow has erased the path, and where to go, as well as how to get there, remains unclear.
The snow is coming down like a mist, with separate flakes that seem to have passed through a flour sifter.
Does anybody use a flour sifter any more? Only the sky.
Chickadees, starlings, sparrows, mourning doves and cardinals visit the feeder on the deck. The cat knocks over a potted parsley plant in her excitement to reach the sliding glass door. Dirt nestles into the cream-colored carpet, like bird seed scattered on the snow outside.
A snow virgin, the cat seems surprised when her paws sink. She mews. Like static electricity, her fur attracts the snow. She forgets the allure of birds and squirrels, and rushes back to the house, carrying the snow inside. It melts, leaving her in a condition no cat wants.
She becomes the alter ego of a cat on a hot tin roof.
