two degrees / of an / icy winter / night


I wait with the / freezing air / here

hearing my thinking / asking me / why

the bitter air / cutting / to the / bone


a meandering raw / refugee / air

not a girl or woman to / make me / right

the weather’s / grim, the / garden / bare 

in two degrees / of an / icy winter / night
