First snow

This morning, as I got off the bus, it was snowing. Tiny little flakes that would melt before they ever hit the ground. The first snow I’ve seen this year.

An hour later, while out on the balcony, I watched a huge flake, inches from my face, floating by, impossibly slow. It just hung there, and I saw it was grey. It was raining ashes. The neighbors from two stories up were sweeping their balcony.
