1/24/13

different sizes of snowflakes fall
cardinals and blue jays can see the tiniest
they devour for hydration in the cold
this morning it was smooth pavement of snow
with only one set of car tires
now it has melted
the bark of the trees are exposed
and the wind cuts through them
like an entire dinner party of steak knives
the vessel I pay rent in has dropped anchor
the breeze still floats the sails
like clouds drifting off
the sun delightfully shines like a new quarter
my cat doesn't seem to understand
it is cold outside
he makes a faint cry of a meow
then looks in my direction
we both have cabin fever
but I am still lazy blue skies
warm inside
