Do you remember that night,
my love?
Do you remember
how it shut without our notice
and sealed within it
spooned tightly together
we watched
and we waited.
And because I did not make
snow vampires
or other icy beasties
with their slovenly minions,
you were safe.
I can't remember
why I chose
to keep them bottled.
I do remember
how you thanked me
eyes closed
with feather kisses
a gentle alabaster hand to my face
and with garbled whispers I understood
in any case
and those other charms
beneath our flannels.
But
come another day
I might slip another way.
I will grant the chill its horrible bite
with only a slight
change of heart
amid returning snows
who may
after all
do no less than prostitute themselves
to my unpredictable and fiendish whims.
The night
once more
will shut without our notice
and we will watch
yes, my darling
we will wait
tightly spooned and frightened together
and sealed within that night
finally slipped from my imagination
snow vampires
in force with frigid lumbering beasties
and sloppy minions
in the indigo shadows
will feast.
Oh, will they feast,
my love!
... and I may come to regret
what I have done.
