a country where winter meant deep snow
wind sometimes cut wounds like a smile across my face
a great breathless
no-doubt-about-being alive-rush deep New England winter
Made my way to some place I knew existed then,
slight shelter from the gale
flick and fumble
eventually light
sacramental cigarette
to the east, to the south, to the west, to the north, as above so below,
as within, so with out, on the smoke that is my prayer…
and somehow all I could do was say thank you –
for this snow,
this wind,
this gunmetal sky,
this bit of shelter crook of a stone wall
this cold, cold, cold against the small heat of my beating heart
