symphony of snow

falling ceaselessly, flecks

of light, falling without

measure, whole notes,

half notes, three quarter

time, downward drift,

luminous, theme and

variation, gentle

syncopation covering

streets, cars, figures

that idle on corners,

upturned faces, swish

of wipers, slush at

intersections, walkers

and gawkers and a red

umbrella, the snow eddies

and swirls and turns

everyone into children

on a snowy day, soft

down of winter, white

noise of the city, photo

negative of night.
