Cold Winter
Cold Winter
I stroll down the road, wind chills blow
Deserted and melted in flurries of snow
The sidewalk is drenched with slush
My furry boots move in languid hush
In the comfort of my woolly
I breathe in the icy air
When suddenly, a gnawing despair
To see the gloomy, uncrowned beauty
I have made it through steadily
Bare hands, numb and steely
Cheeks drawn and wan
The evening moon, lost and gone
As I linger in the intersection
Cars slowing down a section
Lights dancing against a hazy dusk
Then darkness, I am left with things to ask
OH, cold winter, are you in a row?
With green blazing summer glow?
When my face is burnt by salty sea breeze
But you glaze me with an incurable emptiness.
