year

snow is falling
the flakes in the wind
past the lights of the complex

not a hard winter..
just a long winter..

i remember more robust years
the snowbanks high from
the plows of the street
and sidewalk...flung up by
us then with our shovels
our scoops..

and then the dry summers
the low lakes
the hot season of storm
winds blowing

i remember last winter
more stronger
more snow
a constant trickling
of snow

this was more of the cold
and no respite...
no rains..no thunder and
lightning

age catches up with many
and the few whom have left
were aged
loaded up with their issues
and illnesses...the rest
of us survive
and i myself
await for the ice break up
the water glittering in
the sun

the return of the summer
mirages....

but for now
its a ways off yet
more cold...more storms
more dreams
and the days start earlier
the dusks arriving
further into the evening..

another year
