small stone 1.19.2013

the wind outside the house
arrives in gusts
and every so often, it pings
the flat aluminum window screens
we chose to not remove
for winter,
thinking it would be mild.

white cover is ubiquitous as
the wind and the cold, and
even the dry, white salt
coating the asphalt road
whispers,
"you were wrong."

Very evocative of winter. I can feel, see, and here it all.
