The Winter Room

Au Revoir Borealis
The shadows move like water
Reflecting on a wall
The air about the shoulders
Of this place
Cold and remembering
Cold but relenting
Half blind with intention
A tragic invention
Cold but remembering
In it comes - the frost
To cause our breath like clouds
And hands held tight
In their sleeves
Cold and remembering
Cold but relenting
Half blind with intention
A tragic invention
Cold but remembering
This cause and consequence
Of iron and of ice -
So worth the cost
For the promise of light
Cold and remembering
Cold but relenting
Half blind with intention
A tragic invention
Cold but remembering
