THE EYE OF WINTER


The eye of winter dilates and then contracts.

The fog descends.
Ghosts climb up the mountain.
It is dusk now and the world has turned a pale blue.
I can see my breath in the cold air.
I fumble with a key that does not turn.
It is for another door in another life.
I'm locked out; there's nothing left to do.
I will not find myself at home tonight.
