Watching the Feather
Standing on the rooftop
in a red coat,
he watched the feather float,
first higher then spiralling
out of control.
In the cold snowy air
many heads turned upwards.
Which open mouth
would swallow the feather?
He shivered,
just his toes and knees.
It was hard to wonder,
as first his neck,
then his skull, turned to ice.
