A pair of pants blocks my view,

I can’t see down the street,

there’s fresh new snow upon the waist  

and every icy pleat.

The lederhosen shop next door

makes leather pants like these,

and they hang a pair made of iron

to dangle in the breeze.

(In response to What’s Outside Your Window prompt #2. Teacher’s note: Lederhosen are short or knee-legth leather breeches often worn in German-speaking regions.)
