December Winters


I trench my feet in suede

which the snow will surely bite

The crass cold air will break my breath

spreading it thinly across the morning

Busy business awaits past the white walled highways

while December works well to wash routine


Underneath the sheets wife lies warm and waiting

as the frosted dawn peeks through the brittle shades

Shovels crack the caked wax cloudy water

pushed aside, pushed aside

Crack the car door gently, turn the key

Sigh amongst the wintered ice.
