the wonderment of night
from a long ago dorm room
the crazy guys and conscientious girls
- and vice versa -
watching the snow fall
the foot bridge mounded in untouched white
a candle like a melting lake
of shadowy blues,
sand, driftwood
aglow in the window
- a little too much cheap wine -
a fellow plays his guitar
his melody wandering like incense
down the hollow stairwell.
