Father Snow
Father Snow,
creeping up on me
with your white
suit of black tar ice
I want to be
free of the blast
of bold cold
tapping at my door
Please go away
I need to get out
But I shiver
in your white streets
I fear that you'll come
in a wheezy surprise
I'll hide inside my space
But I jut got
a second gust right now
I get in my car and turn the key
Out of here
for an hour
salted roads and wet puddles
lead me to a new place
Please don't bother me
anymore today
Father Snow
Please go away
