Wintry Mix

The morning snow is ash
Christmas in September
Rudolf's red nostril flare
Will not go cold enough
For a polar evening calm

The day wreaks last week
On the eyes and lungs
Breathe less to live to more
Uncommon advice
While the wilds burn

Another blue sunrise 
To the left
While above and to the right
It's a purple haze
Beaten down Nicks inhale
