the nights are now chill and thin
filled with the rustlings of
dry-veined leafy bodies
tumbling and colliding
across the thin skin of snow
the music of their puckered mouths
a hollow
whispering
reaches
into my sleep
and draws its notes
across the page of me
i reach for your warmth

I've heard that sound, your post made me chilly and warm at the same time at the memory of it.
john - our weather has been below zero quite often and then also above quite a bit as well. biking has been possible but sometimes cold - the winds are pretty intense somedays as well. steven
BRRRRR! Wondering if you could travel with a hot water bottle in your pants while biking? Could be cozy...and interesting...

I like that thought of " chill and thin" nights... its true, I experience them as high and cold, too. Its been weird - back and forth between mid-fall and early winter feeling. Have you had strange almost spring like days, too?
HA! Good word v. word - "gamuled"... which is when you're visiting Bali, listening night upon night to gamalan music and you get a bit off kilter.... somewhat drunk on unfamiliar rhythms, yup, definitely.
