winter noise
"Winter Noise"
blue fingers plying open doors
and gusting inwards, that winter howl.
from the car window: automatic electric candles
"i've been here" before i tell the ignition.
i have been enclosed in plastic, fighting for breath.
a guttural noise, we are running out of gas.
i'm not competing but i carry a price tag
anyway
perhaps you need reminding what is sacrificed without a word--
listen, already the snow covers the places we walked.
