it's darn cold
brittle
when i walked today
(i finally got a walk in)
my nose ached
my legs were shivery
so little snow
south of here there are many inches
here it's icy icy
the soil has frost in it,
i wonder if it will go deep this winter?
cold
a cold to numb toes and noses
and my neighbors three dr. seuss trees
charm me and illuminate my sleep this december.
and in my mailbox today
a special book
that i will write about soon
but it IS about paper.
