The scent
snow mixed with salt
wafts through the bitter breeze
under clouds
of seasonal depression
solitude surrounds
a cold Coney Island boardwalk
sherpa boot prints in the sand
poet walks in isolation
along the silent shore
contemplating
abstract, opalescent bits of ice
as they float out to sea
winter by the water
