January Night

peppering my skin
ice shivers off swirling wind
sucking my warm breath away
tiny pointed star
snowflakes fill the dark night sky
lighted windows shine welcome

skin tingles in warm
air close to burning brick hearth
cheeks red as autumn apples
pecking on windows
the raging storm begs entrance
I draw the curtains tighter
