we turn the covers down
together

winter morning-
only paw prints
in the snow
just before dawn
cold darkness —
submersing my feet
–
entwined…
thus ends the tale
of a long winter’s night
After the quarrel
another companionship:
the winter moon
long winter’s night
i try warming up myself
in a cold blanket
sparrow perched
on the sign —
“do not enter”
–
afternoon repast –
her camera snaps
my lingering thought
