have a safe thanksgiving

there is music in the air
it is dark already at 11am
rain will turn
to season’s first snow
and will bring road accidents
we learn not
from adversity, each year
more lives are lost
in first snow

juggling
multi-tasking
we breeze

who doesn't

it is 2pm
flurries are acoming
and the skies have lightened

the music now a throb
dull, distant, drab
pain now
more familiar and friendly
than music, books, ashes

the virgin snow will melt
new leaves will herald new seasons
new words will be imprisoned
new music will be scored

straight and in circles
we will continue
our travails and travels
