Winter Blanket

Snowflakes latched like lovers laughing,
twirling above a deepening twilight,
Thick woods darkened the deeper we roamed.
Our footprints depressed a winding trail
beside blue spruce. Heavy bows held great,
frozen weight amid a spiraling storm,
piercing thin air all around us.

You would have me press my pale flesh
down into your spread sheepskin coat.
Howls and bursts kissed our naked flesh
heating the chilled white blanket below.
Intertwined in a mountain valley,
our love echoed in a barren winter.
