Half Life

When the early mist
rolls down the Inntal
              and tired rain
              hits the early windows

and speaks in a broken voice,
splashes like tyres on tarmac

your small engine of breath
stretches under trapped linen
              you are closed
              and distant.

Late Autumn. Time for frost.
