"Let it snow, let it snow..."

New York City Snowfall...

...and she falls, and swirls from the unknown

slicing in wind-gusted slantings,
succulent in the day's dulled, defracted light...

Snowflakes, snowflakes fall... who
will recall all this; when two feet
fell upon our feet? And, we tromped
through it, in gladness and disgust...
