The Siberian steel of this night
standing water
unhurried ripples
overlap into oleaginous sheets

a frosty bottle
Corona with vodka
biting wool gloves
pieces of frozen ice sticking them

an abandoned dog
under a weeping willow
stiffly blowing
waving scary branches
at the shivering soul

holiday lights blinking
afar on the hill
sitting still
vigilant eye planes landing LGA
meticulously manicured fingers
set digital player

to Baroque Duet Battle and Marsalis
authentic loveliness of Scarlatti
"Su le sponde del Tebro"

beveled car seats
designing a single star
napping to a feel up
while the Aria slipped into Dolphy
perfectly fine
just like pinching hands
down the blouse

perfectly fine
