Delivery guy
hops on his bike–his breath clouds
out in the cold air

A wintery mix –
air hovering ’round freezing –
driving treacherous.

Turned onto Essex–
wind gave me a knock-out punch
of cold. Hot tea, please.

Beautiful dawn –
huge orange sun rises and
floods the swamp with light.

Cold and crisp morning –
pull hat down and scarf up to
