Brrrrrr.
ice and snow
the pleasures of winter
nothing escapes it's grip
not even my heart
not even yours
I have fallen into the snow bank
of your anger
and struggle vainly
while the cold and wet
cover my head and body
you have slipped
on the ice
of my frustration
deep and slick
covering walkways and roads
can you make any headway
on this unyielding surface?
if you tread carefully
and I watch where I walk
maybe we can make it through
this winter
of ice and snow.
