Snow In the Suburbs

A cheap imitation toy
     Next a deep colored strewn rose
     In a house in the 'burbs
     At nighttime under heavy snow.

     A faltering streetlamp
     Near an unretrieved upturned trash barrel;
     A backyard dog looks out to lick the snow.
     Then silence for a while.
