City

 

I.    Against a breathless sky,

      Not doing as nicely here,

      It snows.

 

II.  The branches of a hydro tower,

      Leafless,

      Lie stark naked on the dirty sheets.

      A red light flashes.

 

III. There,

      The snow flowered.

 

IV.  In the mirror

      The wind changes a cloud.

 

V.   Snow pretending snow.

      The streetlight is the sun.

      A black road reflects what water should.

      Here the winter is cleared away,

      If it does not die first.
