Birds sound like spring
snow clips our wings
treading in Vans &
Janoskis
Sloshing over mashed potato streets
from Arden to Mayfair
Savers is closed
& so is the Dollar Store
lights are on
sun is out
Side-blinded by
ice shards
walking backwards
in slow motion
cassette tape garbling
vinyl scratching
playing rewind
to winter.
