Hot Springs
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.

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.
