winter ‘69
I lost my valentine
grey skies, looming low
into these pores of mine

I can still see your face
As you take your place
in the firelight’s glow.
purple and yellow.

snow came late this year
flurries haunt the steer
somehow I knew it would
but now , I fear

I am the rat king
everything you’d hate to see
I am the poor old man
You’d try your hand
At comforting

hidden from the singing
Now the nook of my neck
is freezing
no fault of the weather
but, rather
the want of your cheek.
