The cold, for any length of time, often leaves me sad and withdrawn.
We are no stranger to these late night snow falls. Even so, it is with a child's wonder that I watch as tomorrow's stark white glittering fields fall from the sky. If not for the scattered ambience of street lights, there would be only a dark and
beautiful midnight
. Instead, there are a thousand tiny snowflakes flitting in and out of the light - a million frantic fire flies struggling to see who might reach the ground first. There is a way that a bitterly cold winter night will hold onto the day here, between the earth and sky a warm orange glow - the sort that seems
a work of the sun
, no other.
A love affair with the moon
, most certainly. This is what I have convinced myself to be the sun's excuse to linger. And why shouldn't anyone love its pale blue light. It is on nights like these I think, I would scrawl
amorous letters
to the man who lives there,
inside the moon
- ask him if he might have me and my shadow.
The low snow caps that form along a window ledge in the winter -
the ice that spreads itself thin
between the tiny squares of the windows screen. The solitary fly that apppears in a high corner one day,
drawn towards the heat
. I'd always wondered at its purpose, its presence at all. I watched the first winter fly crawl stiffly, stubbornly, very near the ceiling. I supposed I should have known its message all along.
Endure

The broken shadow dances on the wall
Too many cigarettes and not enough lung
Our souls are growing coarse. We must do something.

Looks down in the gathering shadow
