Red mittens in the snow
Such red hands warming at the fireside
Fingertips as rabbit ears
Sit twitching as they thaw
Shudder-coaxing, static blizzard
Soundly rude upon awaking
Straining at its chains to break them all
Tempest in the television
Rages against its cage to no avail
Not even the mighty dim and hollered
Chorus of that empty channel
Can help it get away
There's no escape
Snow spattered screen remains a reminder of these winter days
Tall boot's melt meanders the kitchen tiles
Traces cracks between them for awhile
Then circles headed out the door
Or so it seems
Trickle-born cold water ribbon drips to life then slips away
On these cold-enough-to-set-hands-throbbing
Placid walks through crisply barking powder days.
