The Freeze

During the night the wind shifted to the north

thawing stopped

and snow dust

swirled across the frozen lake

We pulled back into ourselves

the horses were silent

the air too brittle for sound

The house creaks around us

snow hisses

through the trees

We are alone

wrapped in the wind

I light a candle to write this poem

mirrored black in the pane

this storm will not end

this night through our curtain of sleep.
