Haibun #4

Housebound for days, I've watched the snow and listened to the sleet fall. Despite the cold, I must go out. Tonight, clouds are sailing past an almost full moon. The night is silver and indigo, splashed with gold from the streetlights. So bright for there to be no stars, light reflected and refracted everywhere.

Cobalt shadows hide
each hesitant, crunching step

in the frozen snow.
