Day's Window Narrows

Day's window narrows the sun now fleet of foot bolts from yesterday's darkness heads toward the jaws of today's Frost decorates windshields drivers lick their breath as they swear bare branches shiver, some to snap brown patches, meadow's outerwear Pale orb sinks below the horizon no colors linger, no twilight show Night's deep shadows overcome you white of winter too soon come to woo

Your imagery has brought winter into the forefront of my mind today.

Love this Gershon. The description here of early winter and the frost is perfect. It's exactly what we are experiencing right now here in Alberta. We always get the snow that stays right at Halloween but I've been scraping my windshield for about a week now. God bless, JB

Sounds familiar. We've been scraping windows on cars here in Chicago for several days as well... Here comes OMW. Look out...
