Sandra Fowler - A Shadow Home

Blue streets are lost.
Snow like an avalanche of velvet birds,
Spins morning through a fragile, parchment song.
Which one of us dares hold it to the light?

Such lonesome hands
That shaped a shadow home from winter smoke.
Poems burn low behind the window glass.
Frost paints a flower for emptiness to hold.

Will you find me
Some day when streets bring back the dusk again?
You need not wait for January, Friend.
Snow is a mood. This winter is for you.
