the white out mandates 
a dark house 
(as theatre types say)
a lazy no-walk day

later 
rains abated
we go caving

on the cool
cavern floor
calcite clads
conundrums

stalactites seem
to angle the air
sharp and incisive
or dangle with care
ancient Nervous Housewives

flowstones might
attain the calm
of stupa
or rather the trek 
on sabbatical
gather cellulite
