blood loss in my fingers and toes tell me
(me)
(me)
winter has come to settle in the middle of the night
(night)
(night)
when the heat has been turned off by
(why)
(why)
unknown shadows peopled by the silent cars driving by
(bye)
(bye)
outside my window near the howls that bluntly blow their breaths—i
(i)
before morning arrives at my door
before morning arrives at my door
(or)
light that comes a little too soon
(soon)
sleep that arrives a little too late
(late)
(late)
numbed without hope the constant hollowing of inside skin
(sin)
(sin)
i hear the heater and burst within.
(clink clink, clang clang)
