New York
November
by Steven M. Hewitt
Night fell
and the air was clear and brisk;
a thousand city lights
pulsed against a sable sky
and you could taste winter
and you could smell winter
in the wind of November.
The cold came to stay today;
I watched dancing stream curl to the sky
in the air outside my window.
It raised goosebumps on my legs
as i stepped from out of the shower.
Outdoors, the wind shook puddles
and wrapped my clothes around my body
as I huddled in my thoughts of Spring...
The next day it snowed...
