solitary duck
huddles with itself,
against the cold.

fake snow from
fountain spray in wind;
the cold is real.

Ancient cathedral:
pews & altar
long gone.
Cold air creeps
through cracks
to flicker candles,
Candles lit for
those long dead —
though long remembered —
on a cold, winter day.

Rainy December day
blows in - not long to stay.
From season to season,
without any reason,
sometimes we feel the fray.
