among the crystallized glitter
and chimes
the music of whirring tires
plays rhythmically on old brick
why Dorothy and her red glass slippers
would have enjoyed skipping here
a broken clock
before my eyes' vivid stare
stands
forgetful of any recent church bells'
toll
breathless Marietta, Ohio in snow less
Winter
another gloriously simplistic season
of river side living
such a delightful little rut
to find one's self
unexpectedly in.............
