The Disappointment
Harrison Prow
Written this morning as a reflection on how lame it was to be sick this week when it snowed.
Frosted windowpanes, lyrics I thought I’d never see
The highway traffic stilled, finally.
Mountains give their breath of life
Wind cuts through, each gust a knife.
Buttoned coats, knit hats and gloves
Every tree full of winged doves.
Colors muted by a layer of white
Class was cancelled overnight
As the lake ripples onto frozen shores
Snowmen walk the street and knock on my door
My friends call up, come out and play
I can’t I’m sick.
