And Also Fell

This was a jolly poetic attempt by Jonathan E. Magen

Winter 2026

Bundled in layers

The cold could not warm me

After my shower.

Under many blankets

I hear my story

Unfold.

Bustle of crowds

As the doors close

Ding, ding, ding!

הבאתי לחץ

בתוך הכיסים

.בטעם של קרח

Eyelashes freezing

Crisp air on my nose

Frosty beard

Plop of ages.

In the snowbank.

A chilly tush.

Flakes fell.

I shoveled,

and also fell.

Cold ground.

Chilled pavement.

The iced eve.
