Midwinter, Boulder and Taos

 

I

Bitter midwinter day

Icy sidewalks, snowy  foothills.

A woman eats gelato. Brrr!

II

The school playing field is green
Where midwinter snow has melted.
Plastic turf.

 

III

Red moon rises

Above glittering streets

Dogs are barking.

 

IV

Luminarios flicker on adobe walls

Star is shining above tree of light

Feliz navidad!

 

v

Ice sparkles, Rio Pueblo glistens

Cottonwoods glow golden

Against the indigo sky.
