slivers of moments punctuated by
silver reeds–the freshly fallen snow
meeting day old slush
rooftops coated with grimy icicles
and carefully orchestrated lives
dusk always falls so quickly
at sunset we carry all we have
at rest on splintered porches
drinking in the taste of bonfires
and warm chamomile and lavender tea
we are only trying to stay warm
we are only trying to convince ourselves
that this will not be the only place we ever know
