Narrative
traces of snow, black earth, roots
of devils hands that grasp at frost,
walls stenciled with cold growth;
a far dog coughs open a winter sunday,
but we are scared to peek under the crust,
so we tick and turn, waiting for
a dark better than this, come soon...
the light of your eyes has become
pale and diffuse, here and longer in ice
