earth note 625


a rare yesteryear in the twentieth century

bayside of key west
we hit upon the coldest
january gale force wind
a windbreaker
couldn't hold back
maybe even ice in the rain

paradise ran away fast
without looking back
'til it got a few hundred miles south
past the tropic of cancer

a bicycle frame
can drain the warmth
outta your body
anywhere with a headwind

not a pelican in the open
