Black Hawk Downed

It is not much better in the city
turned the corner, it hit me in the face
A cold wind brushes against my brothers shoulders
I shudder to think of the cold
but there it is clipping wings
Judge and jury, the claws are cold
turning a corner to no hope
I shy in the corner, as the cold winds blow
next to skin and somehow,
we cope the gawk’s
