#242 outside, inside

outside it was cold dark and still the snow frozen in a pose it has held for two days inside i lay cold and dreaming i touched all the rings and folded myself in a chair into every door i was looking outside the moon’s thin grin through trees sillouettes of sleeping hawks and doves play inside it’s everything i can do to avoid serpents and the alarm both conspiring to keep me from looking into every door i was looking for a purple pillow epw 12.18.07 perrysburg, oh
