A hibiscus is robbed
of its scent by the gray
anger of winter.
This land of sun
withers under
an invasion of ice.
In a city frozen in place
eyes look out upon
an alien world
where ice skating
was once just blades
cutting across artificial.

Houston does not do winter, but we are under a winter storm watch...ice and strong winds are in the forecast.
