It is dark now The sleet-formed ice is all     offering subtle light                      like Distant glows of dying embers remarking             their coming death with sizzles                       and pops The tent is not seamed well...so cold is it               not even duck tape holds Flapping in the frigid breeze mournfully What has held life together ending in                  numbness becoming embrace
