Cold and Windy

Cold & Windy David J Walker They said it on the radio this morning at 7:30 A cold dry wind coming in from the North-Northwest If I were to invest Myself in Winter/Stock Inhumane the Solstice/Clock Drops 5 seconds every hour Shortening the time it takes To freeze the lakes In the middle of the city If I were to divest Myself of Winter Winds I would follow my snowbird friends to Florida the land of white sands and warm waters Why does every wind Howl Like Winter in December With nothing to say except it’s name Over and over I miss the defining blizzards Of December Going honestly about its Death threats The wind it sends to the Prairies are Meant as harassments only Even the Winter knows How lonely The sounds of nothing Rushing by The lost horizons and Deep blue sky Turning gray It will be cold today They say On the radio Cold and windy
