did you get any snow?

my mother
was fascinated by the weather.
rain
or snow.
sleet or hail.
a storm got
her blood going.
she tuned into the weather channel,
and kept
me updated
on the rising
tide, or how strong
the winds
were about to blow.
by phone
she'd inquire
if we got any snow,
asking
how much did we get
in our state,
which was
over the bridge and river,
three miles
away
by flight of a crow.
