“To you my lonely walker”
Dark cloak
It envelops me as blankets
In a cold bed might envelop
A lonely body against the draft
That threatens the single foot
Slipping silently towards the
Cold hard floor like that which
I am walking against again.
It wraps me tightly like a body
Against mine under layers of
Quilt protecting delicate night time
Skins from cold dark air that
Tries to creep under sleeping souls.
It hugs closely to my huddled form
Against which there is a barrier much
Like your warmth creates under dreams
We make against the darkening skies
Together which float around me masking
The enveloping cold air though which
Tonight I alone will walk.
