Toronto

Toronto

A freezing February morning

Snow falling at an angle.  

Beautiful, but I suffer. 

Stuffing gloved hands into pockets, 

 

Taking off fogged glasses, 

Wearing a hood bigger than my head, 

Fitting a mask around my face  

The layers I packed weren’t enough. 

My feet; numb. 

As I walk on salted sidewalks  

With white on either side. 

The roads gray, 

 and wet as tires 

 Skid across them.  

A city.

 Trapped in the shadows. 

Of winter.
