Winter’s Night by Yash Seyedbagheri
sky flings flakes.
trees leaning naked
chilled beneath charcoal-colored skies
bare branches reaching out
like skeletons
every now and then
a butter-colored lamp pokes out
from a distant hill
a cabin, perhaps
and there’s another one
winking at me
but then the sky flings flakes
faster
the lamps disappear
and bare branches reach
a little closer
