Tangerine snow waltzes
Fourty feet from my nose.
Flecks moisten my lips in greeting
To their third cousins beneath the streetlamp at which I loosely gaze.
Wind chimes and chilled childhood romances
Breathe within me as if they were recent.
A decent thought I dare say
These soft flakes of yesterday
Make for a secret warning
No amount of mourning could attempt to create.

The grit between the curbs,
                                it radiates,
Causing its new blanket to give in
To damp concrete infrastructered thoroughways.
It leaks upwards through and between my toes,
Cooling this urgent need to hit the hay.

All in favour of hearing one more breeze
Keep the tempo between the trees
And me.
