Drift
After the snow squall
white absorbs blue
under dusk.
And lamplit windows
suspended
in the vacancy
of things receding—
how they signal life.
Company
and compass
in the gathering dark.
There's a special value/hue to the white absorbing blue, that one can see after dark in northern parts of the world. Memories of childhood cold, still winter nights in Michigan came to mind. And the quiet!
"Company and compass" is such a beautiful way to describe lit windows, seen from outside. Beautiful.
