Lost

The snow


In spiral gusts

Begins

Just above my head

And swirling flakes

Showers of falling stars

Become the one reality

In dreams of winter nights.


My mind on the blizzard

Cannot recall

The laughing girls

So long ago,

And if it did

Would it end

This delirium of snow

In a warm bed?


With covers to lie between,

Your face

In the shadows

And only the glow

Of stars and snow

Through an icy window.


And I am alone

On this wintry feast

And want you alone

In the night

When what I say

And how I feel

Might finally come close

To the truth.
