A herron,
Staring straight
Into the cold wind,
Stands steady
...
I was informed by fax
A while back
That there's a gift waiting
For me up north.
...
While walking
In between heavy rain showers,
Two giant insects,
I'd never seen before,
...
The crows are back.
Dropping fast
And fat.
Dragging dirty clouds
...
lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
we won, won, won, won
you lost, lost, lost, lost
i, i, i, i, i, i, i, i, i, i, i, i
...
I was waiting for you. Then,
From the shadows
Of the writhing trees,
Thrown on the wall
...
The last of the shortest day's light
Is enough for a boy to still see his snowman
Through the window.
...
