metallic

the night has already closed in
snow is making little whirlpools
on the asphalt
light orange in reflection
i light a candle for you in memory

i think of snow and how
when it was cold, you were the warmth
at night, holding out the wind

now your eyes are stone
a wall seemingly impenetrable
you are the winter

a harsh coldness
you are metal against my skin

who holds the night out now?
when the memory won't hold back
