Winter in You

Laura Sims

Have I seen such a tower

Her fleshy, spectacular hand
Would the dogs not find

A tower of ash when the hearth wound down
What it costs

to put winter in you!
Her nails cleanly sculpted, bare

And the autumn?
One buys tires for life

Ablaze—
Then her hair falls down

Her hand
Is the winter

lost, little innocent people?
