A "Pause for Words"
Icy Revelation

Shoveling out the drive

another year, another foot

of snow, and I don’t think

I can take much more

of this frozen precipitation.

It challenges me on the roads,

it taunts me as I walk,

all I see is white everywhere,

and bare branches dancing

their voodoo wickedness.

I feel claustrophobic, knowing

this evilness is winning,

my sunny spirits wane –

and I grumble with each toss

of the shovel. No one my age

should have to do this,

mumble, grumble, mumble, mumble –

then, I think of those who can’t,

who’d give anything to push snow

and lift, to stand and bend, to breathe

in the fresh, frigid air, to hear the crunch

of life beneath their feet while walking

or shoveling in winter.
