"For a Boy in the Snow" was written by Anthony Green for Shelter Music Boston’s 2022 Julie Leven Artistic Project, Voices of Hope. The works composed for this project are inspired by poetry written by members of the Black Seed Writers Group, a Boston based meet-up of writers who are homeless, in transition, or recently housed, led by James Parker of The Atlantic.
SNOWBOY
A boy walks out on a snowy day.
He shapes a ball to feel it.
He throws a ball to feel it.
He throws the snowball to hit the sign.
That snowball sticks right to the sign.
He throws a snowball at his friend Carol's face. She has one of those faces.
He throws a snowball at his friends. Throwing snowballs in a snowball fight. A bus comes by full of kids.
He yells at all the snowball friends
so they throw snowballs at the bus.
The boy throws snowballs at the bus
with only 34% accuracy.
The last five snowballs land
in the street behind the bus.
The boy throws snowballs
til his hand hurts from the cold.
Later that night, all cozy in his warm bed, he has long forgotten the pain.
