Snow Falling on Riot Police, Boulder, CO


it takes a moment for the
snowflakes to melt into darkness
on their glistening black riot gear,
the photographers light, extended
above the crowd, illuminates a flurry
of drifting flakes falling from
an innocent sky onto a violent crowd.
a sensitive ear hears the silence
between each snowflake that
gradually dampens the riot gear,
settles the crowd.
eventually, all will grow quiet,
we will only see the glistening
of flashing lights on the wet streets.
