Poetry by Nicole Hirt
fog hovers
over Colorado peaks
sculpted with snow
and flecked with pines
Run, run, run.
snowflakes trickle
from a grey sky
tickling my eyelashes
with white kisses
Run, run, run.
cold burns
my feet as they race
through mounds of powder
soft and wet
the alarm blinks on my phone:
“A blizzard is coming. Please find shelter.”
Run, run, run.
