Around Christmas-Jason 2008

Last dreams fall around

like October leaves

The sky a broken blue bottle

My heart like marble

A stone in my worn out shoe

Nothing left to dance to in my room

closed up for the winter

Without my love of sweeter days

And my nights with you faded from

memory in the city unprepared for snow

I gave you a blanket from Mexico

You closed the window on me at 3am

Stay warm anyway

My shades are drawn against these

cold truths

Boarded up and shutters closed

A summer place that no one visits

In late seasons of a bitter ending.
