Snow's Ashes

 Walking on the sidelines

Just past me was a red stop sign.

People pushing past 

In cozy hats

Cloudy skies, cold December lows and highs

Now I’m dashing down the street

Home and familiar buildings preceding me

Stepping on snow’s ashes

I witnessed the rise and fall

From a pure white blanket, snuggling the ground 

To dirty snow
