the night has made all the lights in town
crawl out of bed on fire
old trees float over snow
and now you can see
your breath
spiral
nothing happens.
then a train pulls in
from somewhere trains
come from
strangers spill
into yellow cabs
that glide out of sight
all gone.

windows burn
in the deep, -
deep peace
the silence finds
you... thinking
things
with your heart
that your mind
never speaks
and the words come
lovely enough
on wings
and you love your life
for the first
time
.
falling asleep
