Tell him to let go
of all doubt
Tell him for me
for he's too far







Shake the cold out
from the fibers of the blanket
Heat it with yourself
Slowly crumble letters
onto it, and mossy moods
Make it heavy so you can
hibernate into contentment
until the next explosion of desire



In the pitchness
of the black
there's always Venus
shining



Fetching firewood

in boots & underwear

50 Fahrenheit

is summer

when it's winter

Here




Cold fell out
of the stars today
But not in Mauritius
