The Storm Road

 

 
Pick any icy day:
note the adversarial weather watch
muddy melting patches, the sinister glisten of the grass
a careful half-step at a crosswalk, the braking sliding driver
echoed crackle of children's voices
arid glaze of light pooling between house, tree and yard
layers of creaking leaves in gutters
beeches stained by bladed sleeting winds
a crumpled sky angled at steeple, tenement, factory
                                                            Pick any icy day
