Cold Bites

A metallic blue sky,

sun’s warmth only a dream.


On a very hurried walk ~

my eyes were bitten

slender knives of icy wind

snaked through my scarf,

the light wind forced itself 

against my heavy winter coat, 

gnawed on knees layered 

with denim and fleece,

hands and feet warm

in mittens and boots.


Harsh glittering snow 

was quickly left behind.


“Resist winter as you will - the cold will come.”

~ Terry Guillements
