Mouth has dried up-
A wounded moon.
Rain is yowling
On the liquid snow.

So, I walk in,
Walk in
Like a ghost-
A wailing shadow.

My limbs are bared
In the blankets
Of snowflakes.
Foul and mahogany-

The hours,
That I spent
In the tempest.
Ringing my doorbell-

A new rhyme,
A new pain,
A new game
Has arrived in my cell again.
