the signs abound
the cold shiver is coming back around
soon winter will begin again
boats covered in plastic they slumber at the marina on the shores of sleepiness
and the wind meets me only by accident
on an ancient road
that intersects at the edge of the creek with its iced banks
every time the moon rose clouds hid the moon
so before I could swallow the moon,
she prayed
cast your dark over indifferent skies
adorn the uncaring cosmos
and make the snows
fly
destiny will not let the moon cast shadows
so instead, I compose
some prose while you pose that way
like a young Mina Loy
I remember late nights together
we busied ourselves
in your bedroom
our breath mingled,
hot wet breath
the essence of our impulsive lips
I enjoyed
the freedom of your gratis
now, I wait
until finally,
in dreams late at night,
I watch snowflakes die and that stillness
takes away my breath
and you know a snowflakes death
has no meaning at all.
