Winds howl through
drafty windowpanes
snow globe encirclement-
Can you hear sleigh bells ring?
The flowers have all died
and rot in their vase
and the ashes of a romance
have now been scattered
they dance across the frigid
river, they twirl and disintegrate
the snow has buried what was
sacred, and now we move on
into the remnants of lives lived,
alone.
