in the bitter

concrete cold detroit manhole steam....
brief warm no homes veterans huddling

visions wars hell traffic taxies blur.....  
city brittle in the bitter

Dear Regina, You speak so well and stark to the horrible plight of the homeless and veterans. I work in Philadelphia and see many lying on the manholes sleeping even though the temperature is 0 degrees. The problem is large and overwhelming. I pray there could be an answer. Well Written! Winter Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Thank you so much, dear friend Daniel. The housing crisis in America is so tragic. Praying for those who suffer from it. Blessings to you this Sunday morning.

Detroit's winters are inhospitable, to say the least. ~ gw

Good morning, Gershon. The U.S. housing crisis is heart-rending. Wondering if it will ever improve. A serene Sunday to you and your family. Shalom.

This is a rough winter no matter where a person lives, but in the cold areas I can't imagine how hard it would be to in a situation where I had no place to stay to keep warm. Thanks for sharing. Sara K
