.
Creatures paw at snow
wet nosed and glee footed
like you.
.
Broken and broke
the stars in their conspiracies
snicker like little boys.
.
Scars atop scars
old wounds and new
beneath snow covered hope.
.
Smile through laughter
through sorrows
and feel elated to feel.
.
Is it hard to see the stars;
spaced lighting of far away fireworks
through the clouds of winter?
