I move slowly in the sleepless wind
and can feel a chill in the marrow

of my bones.
The shadow of a ghost or God stalks

me down to the end of the alley as
snow crackles under my heavy,

black leather boots.
The white bone of the moon protects

me like a great Madonna -
her eyes gentled on me like
two candles.
