Midnight In January

Another sleepless night, I watch the snow fall. Furious flurries in a heavenly jailbreak, they pile up in the window corners anonymously. One itinerant catches itself on the middle of the pane, an unafraid renegade. I lean closer to admire but its identity slides down the glass, melted by my curious breath. Joining others of a lesser fate, they form a rivulet and fall to the frozen earth below.
