on chilly mornings

I walk with a shiver, blot

my runny nose and eyes

this warming world has been

an icy place for a while,

and Hannukah may loom

toasty and happy for some

while others, bundled and

still cold, look and wait

for something, anything

to slow the tears of circumstance

the tremors of misery
