Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

The Wind Has Teeth

The wind has teeth today
   nipping at my cheeks and ears
The chill air is a blade, ripping away
   the lining of my jacket

The wan sun's rays fall helplessly to the ground
   lacking any true conviction
Gray clouds swirl aimlessly overhead
   mirroring the tenor of the day  

Yet first snow's flakes linger in the air
   somewhere in a snow-globe dimension
Two lovers move their lips in prayer
   as five point stars melt on the kiss they share
