Resting my eyes
Down to the streets below
The wind is frosty breath
The white is drippy snow
The glass is showing a
smudge worn handprinted
Chicago
I blink my eyes in rapid strokes
To keep a head from tumbling under
Strenuous effort to placate the tears
I decide to cry
I think.
If I didn't cry
I think I would lose some of the color
I would miss some transcendent moment
The rain would be cold
And wet
I decide to cry
