These hours scrape by like snow shovels.

With the folly of a train darkening
In the failing embers of winter.

In the wind, or like a melting fist
Weaned on the hardy light of day,
While the fading of our modesties
Blossomed into a cancer on love's faulty tongue.
And now your hair flames brightly in my kitchen cups. — Noelle Kocot
