The
thing about the middle of the winter is,
it
chases you, erases you, displaces your relation 
to
the simplest things – its wings beat rivulets 
of
freeze into your spirit’s unconsidered ease – 
it
finds the vault and turns the key – unlocks 
humility
– you see you are as vacant and as old
and
cold as any light-year through unanswerable 
space:
it is a taste of cosmos from which you
will never quite recover. It is a memorable lover.
