A Twenty-five Minute Face Biting Walk

Richard Grove

Biting cold, dry,
cracked knuckles
fingers gloved,
stinging wind
face ripping rage.

��A streetcar passes leaving us behind

Tilted, quick stepped,
hooded head down
a sidewalk staring blur,
an icy wind torn tear,
frozen too cheek

��Another streetcar passes us by.

A rosy cheeked,
nose dripping
refreshing walk!!

��Another streetcar passes us by.

Why did we bother?

��Yet another streetcar passes by.

Why did we bother,
to take the opportunity to walk
on this blessed night
when we could have been
on that very first streetcar
warm and looking back?
