Week 27 Lento
The Cold Outside
Critters seek shelter, soggy and wet,
cringing beneath brush and evergreen,
cribbing in burrows to avoid the threat.
Crystals form, a seasonal routine.
Winter currents carry icy air.
Wind winds in and out in cold distain
whipping through space and time without care.
Windows shut against wind-driven rain. ~~Judi Van Gorder
