Snow Overnight
(the forecast)
x
Snow in the dark
Except where under
Artificial lights,
Maybe like renegades
Outside the windows
Of our homes
Or business locales
x
Over the runway
Through trees
Sleeping gardens
Flying around steeples
It’s there
It might go well
To turn off the lights
Go outside
I have to recommend
In numbers
x
But let them strike our flesh
Faces,
Wrists between our gloves
And sleeves
x
Small hits, the kind that
Most of us can take
With the cold
In thirties Fahrenheit,
Knowing that heat awaits
Inside
After the dance
Or anything to learn

Cold and snowy here as well. We need more firewood, too. Very visual poem as usual. Happy Monday.

It’s snowed the past couple of days where I am too…your writing describes the scene perfectly 😍 Snow gently falling and covering anything it touches, including the skin peaking out from between our gloves and jacket 😄 Sometimes the excitement of seeing the snow settle for the first time in a while can be so distracting. Wonderful description and beautiful writing as always ❤ looking forward to your next piece. Much love! 💐
