with only a narrow space at one end
through which to edge over to the other side.

new wonders
that winter was one of walking
of stalking the sunset’s glow
to the western road and then
watching the fire fade from the treetops
before shrugging home in the dusk

as if to say the new year had arrived
but no one was quite ready to face it

that dust-on-the-rain smell
that always makes my heart
ache for spring
echo
could the echo be
a candle in the darkness
bending the silence?
