Colorado cold air makes my teeth hurt...

...when it is 

three below zero 

in Summit County.  

At 3 a.m. this morning 

it was so cold 

you could hear 

the air pop.  

The largest full moon 

I have ever seen 

was suspended 

over the Ten Mile Range 

and it was so quiet 

that you could 

actually hear 

the quiet..  

The Blue River 

east of my house 

never freezes.  

Never freezes 

as it continues it's trek 

to the mighty Colorado River 

north of my place 

and then 

to the Gulf of California.  

Running water.  

Running away from the snow 

and the cold 

of Colorado 

to lap on some warm beach 

near Guaymas 

populated by people 

from Colorado 

trying to 

get the minus three degree cold 

from their bones.
