the bulbs are glowing
under a veil of snow
blushing in patches
the naked light hidden
imitated in decoration
burning safely on a table
consumed by the silence of a sleeping house
the hollow night is growing
the skin of winter
cresting in alleys
caking over gardens
clogging every road
so that nothing moves easily
in my congestion
the cold is confused
with the smell of spring rain
on a gravel road
cool and welcome
drowning grass in a ditch
