Winter Arrives
Silently winter has arrived beating a feather tread
In hallways away from the windows you can see her
Feet echo, cruise the chilled maws of felt-lined studies
Spider webbings turned sun sparked like chipped icicles
Pages frosted, the library shimmers a candle flame
Books, the Decameron, dust frozen on suits of leather
Trapped in her embrace and kissed of Antarctic death
Her lightest pinch will make one forget about warmth
Then she moves to the hearth and ribboning smoke rings
Greet her arrival as they make journey into forever
Spirals, combining on the ceiling, frost into frost,
Air into air, she is a great canopy, my milky mistress
Capture my words, and make no promises that can be heard.
