hesitant moonlight

hesitant moonlight and yr.lover disappears
catlike out the window
tracks in the snow leading
into the wilderness

at night my thoughts wander
ghostlike and snowblind into darkness
onto the mirrory lake
crossing freshly formed ice, as it spiderwebs
and threatens to collapse, beneath
the weight of words
a whisper of breathe

i, like the fox, warily
keeping my tail dry
