----(4/24/04)



The furnace is out

the wind howls furiously at my window

my arms rubbing to warm themselves

under blankets that never seem to keep still.

The light flickers on and on

the cold ringing drowns lout

the humming of my heart

that tells a story unheard.

I cling together broken pictures

and memories of better days

days when you would bring me flowers

that would die while we slept for hours.
