• Winter Rain

  As the street lights hum to life
  roads reflect with orange flavored sheen
  car lights bright of red and white
  leave trails behind the wiper blades
  Mercury vapor parking lots,
  piled high with snows remains,
  white hot stains of rocker salt
  are washed away by the winter rain  

  many nights of snow and skidding ice
  with no hope of warmer days
  we bundled up in down feather coats 
  and followed the orange plowers sand and blade.
  we slowly walked in our winter boots
  our minds wandered to nicer days
  when winds would change from north to south
  and blow in the warm winter rain.
