Cold Day in the Park

Dec. 4, 2012

Cold Day in the Park

Cold hands
     Struggle against numbness
          As I tr-tr-try
To scratch out some words
      In Douglass Park.
Curse the cold!
I would freeze to death
      To keep breathing
           These Illinois sunsets!

I retreat behind my dirty window
      As the sunlight fades,
Tr-tr-trying
      To drink it all in
            Before the night
                 Smothers the view.
