TUESDAY

Trapped behind my
window panes I

watched the city
slump into winter,

all morning the sky
darkened and the

sullen river stared
back, anxious,

an old wound.
Finally, we could

no longer stand it!
The snow fell in

wet gobs! Big globs!
Fist-sized ashes

filled the air, a
miracle! Great

clumps of star-stuff!
Globs of nuclear wonder!

Incredible chunks
of phenomena!

it was the world
transformed, the sky,

the river, the city
and the lovely

snow, I felt
I loved all this

lovely dying,
this lovely

praying, the end
of the world.
