snow

 

“And a British team has found that pregnant women who have a major emotional loss in the early months of pregnancy give birth to babies with a higher risk of schizophrenia.” if snow shifted heavily
from the roof
into the waiting silence

our dreams would not be
disturbed

the quilt is wrapped with
bright threads

under sleeping weight


I saw your ending like a projection
huge gestures, distortions
the flap of gauze over your bare face
reflected

we circle the air
without breaking glass

no,
I will not go down
without swinging
