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.
