our feelings become visible
against the windows of the house
like condensation or the delicate web
of cold on winter mornings
the frosting of breath, of words
becoming, thoughts coming into being
the tiny crystals knitted surely
into a fine veil
and the garden, and everything
slips behind this fragile film
of mist, as darkness
gains in weight
at such moments
we are frail, impermanent
