SNOW (2004-Jan-07)

a hushed world
feather-soft snow drifting white
clank, clank, clank
chained snowplow scrapes by

it's quite a hike
to get where i'm going
along roads littered
with abandonded cars

laboring breath
sounds loud in the still
cold nose belies
how overly warm i am inside

there!
i can hear kids laughing
playing in the snow
delighted with the world

God, please be with
my neighbors in need
for whom this is not
a pleasant change from habit
