Winter

snow-capped hills
frozen daffodils
frostbitten toes
splendid eggnogs

who can beat the cliches of winter?

i live in the equator
where summer never ends.

the lovers, treacherous
the friends, close to the bone.

the cold days are nothing
but stuffy noses and muddy soles
picking your days out
like a cruel sun.
