Snow and Salt

15 5 2
                                    

in the snow I walk.

blue lances fall around me

like the darning needles

my mother would use to sew

the tears in my white bedsheets;

a yellow song sweeps in; an organ;

the black tux cat walks on the tile,

leaving behind it sporadic pairs

of every-other-tracks.

the wind is cold and it pries open my eyes

and like my brother he

flicks wet salt in.
