winter crow shadow sneaks up from behind
old man fits into the silence puzzle solved
winter winds carry the smell of char
desert’s death cavity orphaned bodies bare
we struggle to make peace with the cold
noon ghosts the sounds of caged birds
winter the woken flesh tender to touch
first light lithe bodies floating in grey
fighting the tides bedsheets stranded on shore
