clock tower stands tall
over the city waiting
as the winds pick up
for another storm soon
approaching even as
time remains frozen

Old City Hall
They emerge slowly
like hibernating bears
coming forth after a
storm hesitating
watching
moving about
They begin to shovel
snow and to scrape
icy automobiles in
hopes of venturing
out but they
remain unmoved
One gentleman wields a
camera focusing on
his laurel hedge
photographing
something
then disappears
Children begin to sled
throwing snowballs
laughing the cold
forgotten then
darkness
all is quiet
