The screams of a Loon
near a bitter cold lake
rush through a forrest
of silent frosty trees.
My own roaring fire
can't tamp down the chill or
disguise the bleak anguish
only a fool won't hear.
Calls of a lover
searching desperately for
a warm winged companion
that will hold him tonight.
One more plantive shriek
under an icy moon
I snuggle, deeper still
beneath my goose down quilt.
