crystal projections – off white patterns – clear out – to the street light – being broken up by people passing by – maybe I’m just wasting time – it snowed last night – again – found – my sight – staring off – thick – wet – rich – snow dunes – curvaceous – peaks and valleys – blanket of – red – blue – yellow – lights – green – Christmas tree – the stars glisten – like points of reflecting – sun sparks – glowing incandescent – a psychedelic tundra rolling – reminding me of those nudes by Weston – shadows lightly caressing the small of backs – or O’keefe with her flowers
- the intricate detail of a petal – being held by the strength of it’s leaf –but maybe I’m just wasting time – waiting here – as these people race by – stopping in – causing the computer to bleep – blip – and ring – mimicking the jingling of change dropping into the tin – the smell of commerce – pulsates – disrupting my tranquil thoughts – no poetry here to rhyme – except they seem so miserable – if they could only learn to stop – and waste some time – staring off into the snow – to see the beauty it holds – the ripples – the sheer – the footsteps – the snow angels – just off the path – a snowman – and hot chocolate – awaiting inside – with it’s swirling melting marshmallows – and someone there - to here you sigh
