The winter sun
reflects white off snow,
burning the skin
of your dripping nose,
no warmth
assaulting your eyes
in concert with winds
sparkling branches,
Christmas lights
threatening to impale.

The lighting is perfect
for a photo shoot,
and everybody smiles
trying to present the image
of a beautiful day.

The winter sun
reflects white off snow,
burning the skin
on your dripping nose
without warmth,
assaulting your eyes
in concert with the winds
howl, sparkling the icicles
coating bare tree branches
into Christmas lights
threatening to impale
the heart.

The lighting is perfect
for a photo shoot,
and everybody smiles
trying to present the image
of a beautiful day.
