Death Came in the Winter By Wayne Russell

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.
