Listen!
TILL IT THAWS 1. the house is close by the cold is closer in the woods ahead of you you hear a clacking from trees snapping their fingers at the wind 2. not only white also blue and red in flashes the snow presses your eyes closed 3. the tracks in clean snow a rabbit left only his and yours in all the woods' loneliness has he lost his way too 4. midnight you step outside you hurt from breathing and remember you are hollow how deep the cold has sunk how close the dry sky with its piece of moon and white stars
