grey
great winds blow chilled air
rushing out of the mouths of
east, west, north and south cloud gods
yesterdays melted snow will be replaced tonight
gravel spread upon the weathered
roads attempts to break up black ice
eating away at the macadam and concrete roads
yielding under the pressures of those tires that dare to tread
geese attempt flight but are forced to the ground
robbing them of the extra distance they seek
easy their lot is not, in suburbs or farmers’ field there may be better fair
yards in the cities are just to small for even a small flock to rest
gusts tug at my muffler, teases my bear cheeks
roiled debris tries to find moors in the mists of my eyes
even blinking constantly, sight is obscured with living shadow
yearning to take even the slightest breath away from the brave
gradually one can settle behind the doors of home
removing layers of clothing - that failed to protect
even the walls appear to groan with the weight of woe from the Four
yaws that seem to remain open tossing their fury while they can

Thanks for your kind words. I do review all comments before posting - so if your comment disappears on you, don't fret. I will post honorable comments as soon as I am able.
I do not post or return visits to "Anonymous Comments." Adding your link to an unrelated site will not help. Most everything that ends up in spam will not be posted, especially that which makes no sense to the post.
Any 'opinions' that are not introduced, explained and are unrelated to my post will not be honored. Having a 'legitimate' blog will not help - you will be marked as spam. You will have no voice here. Thank you.
