Winter Wind in Wyoming
Why does the winter wind blow
All the time?
We close our eyes against the grit and snow,
And cannot see other people
We pull our hats down to protect our earlobes from the cold,
And cannot hear human voices
We put on warm gloves to protect our hands from frostbite,
And cannot feel the touch of another’s hand
We put on pairs of socks inside high boots to keep our feet from freezing,
And cannot feel last year’s leaves and branches under our feet,
We put on layers of clothing to keep our bodies warm
And cannot feel the beating of another heart.
We become frosted islands in a sea
Of blowing cold,
And still the winter wind
Blows all the time.
