#6 NIGHT
It was night
the leaves fell
the hour fell back
the snow fell
the holidays lifted spirits
before they fell again
And then the night dragged on
and on and on and on and on
until even skiers and snowboarders
fell into complaining and moaning
with the rest of us tenderfeet
And the hour sprang forward
the clouds moved away
the light came in again
ever so slowly
The warmth lifted us
after being so cold
for so long
in the darkness
