Embrace
Still sat the squirrel. /
Unmoved stood the metal man. /
Winter embraced both.

Night
Cold, crisp, brittle night. /
Clouds left with the light and wind, /
bundled in small warmth.

Fists
Curled into dead fists /
brown leaves deny, then decay. /
Winter takes them in.

Icarus
I lack the sky /
and even if I could fly /
the birds would laugh.

Nothing
I left with nothing /
