Dark Nights (d)

5 2 1
                                    

The night does seem so

cold and dark.

There is silence in the

static air.

Reach for the old warmer-upper,

Sit by the flames.

Turn on your Beethoven,

But do keep your eyes dry.

Layer on another nightshirt,

But still shiver, for the drafts.

Turn off the music.

Kill the flames.

Just you

Little ball

On the cold

compacted ground

Warmer-upper flowing through veins

Your only life
