winter solstice
the day brightened just before noon
and so it seemed spirits did the same
city streets awakened from the freeze
newly bustling and sloppy
old snow sadly discolored
passersby warmly dressed
walking briskly and
suppressing their emotions
the angle of the setting sun
made it impossible to move forward
december two thousand sixteen

Thank you very much, Beth.
Dude. Why don’t you guys moonwalk then? 😉
Yeah, that’s a really good idea!
