by John Grey
Snow falls on snow.
And, in between,
I trudge.
Yes it’s beautiful
but it chills my bones.
It decorates.
It beautifies.
But my fingers freeze
despite my gloves.
I am on my way
to a place
that will offer me
radiance and discomfort
in equal abundance.
The weather forecaster
got it right.
Now it’s down to
the people forecaster.
