Snow

December

---

Let the world go

And you and I

Observe, alone

The trees against the sky

Laden with white

And heavy snow

Each bud encased

In icy tomb

Promised forgetting

Of spring

For a little while

---

Remember I am human

And I grow cold, alone

Let your fingers

Find my own

Raw and trembling

In the wind

And we will go

Home

Beneath the trees

Under a rose-grey sky.
