Snow fall and
Night
Two women in a doorway
Talking
The feeling of possibility
Receding images
Houses and idle cars
Merging with old growth
Bric-a-brac and black stray
Cats
The silent conspiracy
Of snow
And pooling lamplight
Clarity
Fragments of jazz
Night
Milk white
Distant engines
Revving
The sensation of being
On a verge.
Impolitic
