Sidewalks

Salt upon sidewalks
Glistening
Gets me thinking
About some things
Not too pristine
In windows passed
People waiting
For approaching storms
They look the norm
But just as salt upon sidewalks
Some places bare
Some souls don't share
So I'll be slipping
Shuffling
Trying not to dream
For fear of breaking
And surgeries
That should be free
With my taxes see
Salt upon sidewalks
Like the stars
Shimmering
Rhythm
Crunching beneath my feet
Security
As winter breeze
Attempts holding me
Breaking me
Before I'm behind my window panes
With the warm remains
Of what I've seen
Waiting on falling snow
To quiet my strident dreams...
