First, I want to say that I've always enjoyed your poetry and this is no exception. It's lovely! One suggestion, if I may, for the first two lines: "What I thought was snow/turned out to be the fluffy white/from cottonwood or dandelions." Reads a little better this way, at least to me. And it does eliminate one of the poem's "it" words, which there are quite a few.

ditto on what Eve said, I think you make the last two lines work. They are iffy lines, success predicated on what comes before. You did it.

The comment from Eve got me to thinking that perhaps combining L5 & 6 would also help in the flow, to read, instead,<br>

I just know the concrete's still dry
