David Walker Poet Rhyme

Listen to poem:

Forever Winter

Forever Winter
David J Walker
Where are you going and why
            I 
	At 10 
Had no answer 

            I 
          at 10
and at 10 in the am 
thought only of warming myself
in the afternoons half-hearted
winter sun

         I at 10
Had no one to fall back on
Except for the crush of 10 inches of pure snow below
Except for the plush of 10 inches of pure clouds above

And the prospect of falling high or low
Was of little matter to me at 10 and 
10 again in the morning

Where was I going and why
            I
	 At 10
Had no way of knowing
Only that the snow was blowing
	Falling 
And Winter may last forever
