First Edit: Cold Concrete Steps

[Thunderembargo]

Cracks from familiar feet                           
worsen with every step,                  I don't like "worsen": can you say something like, "every dropping step"
but go unnoticed each day.                 here a metaphor for incremental degradation could be utilized
                                                      or something like: "each escaping day" 
Snow settles in corners, crevices,
pushed there by a wind
that used to give comfort.                show how this may have given comfort; follow "comfort" with "inspired" 
                                                   inspired comfort
Somehow even grey fades,
yet still solid against ungrateful            solid against unbecoming
backsides, who'll curse the ice.              i like "ungrateful" .  can you use the word to describe the ice, so.............
                                                        who'll curse the ungrateful ice.  then refer, line 2, stanza 3, 
No one listens to that language              can you say............ quiet language or forgotten language  
of chipped surfaces; deterioration
too easily left behind.

The poem is very intentional and leads coherently towards a direct conclusion.  Impressive and also subtle and nuanced.
