Winter Valentine

Like the roof of the world
falls in and then  it snows
the walls still standing barely
but the windows blown out
so grass will grow indoors
come the green time again
slowly rebuilding the walls
each summer but running out
of money for a new roof by fall
and then it snows on the grass indoors
just like I told you it would
but we need the snow to shut us up
in our houses from which we run
screaming into the fields to hear
if love or spring is near
