Unseasonable
Stationary snowflake panes
Shocking climate change
So many lovely ‘Douglas Leigh-styled‘ illuminated snowflakes
Adorn the Flatbush Streets
Hovering from Chinatown’s Canal
Then over the Manhattan Bridge
Into the cavernous Flatbush Extension
Of high-rise hopes for prosperity
Northern Comfort & joy for this holiday season
And the coming New Year
Only a facsimile of snow for this winter solstice
Will suffice for ice
As winter marigolds continue to bloom
In our glorious & confused ghetto garden
