i like winter

i like winter.

bring me cold. 
bring me my shovel
and scrapper to
dig and scrape the snow
and ice.

i wrap my arms around
the gale
force wind. the flickering
lights.

the bleak night.
give me matches to light
the candles,

more wood for the fire.

i like this season 
of darkness.

of grey limbs, of leafless
trees

of
hovering around
a fire rubbing my
gloveless hands together,

i like being deep into
this season
after the gaiety has ended.

being hungry.
being alone.
being loveless and new born.

it's all a delight.
