another season, another reason to stay close
the white dog is gone
but the rooftops are powdered like cake
and we can go traipsing for blocks
upon blocks, building stamina, building strength,
appetite, bellowing stories to the smokestacks,
freeing bushes weighted down with flakes
all together now, wake to the muffled world
insulated just for us, I swear
the holiday cocooned
day out day in day out day in
whole hours sloshing into days
I only have eyes for you
