ELLA'S BLUES

outside

35 below zero

windchill

inside

me

hummin' along

to Ella

I'm blanket-wrapped

eating cherries

from Chile

seems all

I can think

to do today

choosing

the roundest

reddest

cherry

biting into

sweet flesh

tryin' to remember

the dream

of summer

and was there

ever

a time

when livin' was easy?
