winter

I hate winter
the way the warring wind
seeps warmth from your
cheeks
ears
fingertips

makes tears fall from eyes
freezing to cheek
as I cross Tache to get to car
a semi-permanent record

creates fissures in our paved psyches
opening up our wounds to the world
red gaping incisions
that never quite heal

through a window from a warm house
there is beauty
pristine powder snow
pale blue sky

but it is illusion only as
the death of winter takes over all
