He who binds to himself a joy

does the wingéd life destroy

but he who kisses the joy as it flies

lives in eternity’s sunrise.

-William Blake

the window

the light in the window

yellow and warm

trimmed with candles

would not

go out

would not

go out

refused

until

the snow falling

thicker

as they pulled away

slowly

erased it from view

but not from mind

and never from heart.
