Poetry Corner Snowfall

I'm counting up the bits of snow that fall onto my face.

I stick my tongue out eagerly to see how they might taste.

Dreaming: I am falling. Knowing: that I'm blind.

I sit in snow in drifts so deep — space and time rewind.

I'm counting down the time I have inside this tiny place.

I shiver slightly and I'm so weary: stuck in a des- perate race.

Thinking: I am worried. Knowing: that I'm blind.

I stand before the great white canvas — untouched by all mankind
