it is the downward drift of light

Watching snow cover the ground, cover itself, 
cover everything that is not you, you see 
it is the downward drift of light 
upon the sound of air sweeping away the air, 
it is the fall of moments into moments, the burial 
of sleep, the down of winter, the negative of night. 
 
[Mark Strand {1934-2014} ‘Snowfall’, from New Selected Poems]
