The Longest Night of the Coldest Year
The dead of winter closes in
Outside the door, I hear the wind howl
It sweeps along the tundra soil
And carries discord on its way down
The dead of evening closes in
Outside, the world is clothed in shadow
The crawling nightfall winds about
The pulse of passing age to slow
Reluctant, anomic
The solstice isolates
The blizzard, unyielding
I bend under the weight
The cyclone advances,
Its tirade incomplete
The red and the gold
From the firmament retreat
To black eclipsing green,
The longest night the coldest year has seen
Strips the earth clean
Of all the dust, and rust, and kerosene
Heed now the howl of wind
So loud, it brings the mountain down
Follow the sound
Outside the door, I hear the wind howl
It sweeps along the tundra soil
And carries discord on its way down
The dead of evening closes in
Outside, the world is clothed in shadow
The crawling nightfall winds about
The pulse of passing age to slow
Reluctant, anomic
The solstice isolates
The blizzard, unyielding
I bend under the weight
The cyclone advances,
Its tirade incomplete
The red and the gold
From the firmament retreat
To black eclipsing green,
The longest night the coldest year has seen
Strips the earth clean
Of all the dust, and rust, and kerosene
Heed now the howl of wind
So loud, it brings the mountain down
Follow the sound
