Early January,

Through the holidays,

Late evening,

Clear night, brittle cold,

Common up here,

A brief walk with the dog before bed

Underfoot snow squeaks as no other sound,

The dog shivers

I shiver,

Three quarter moon rises low in the southeast,

Stocking cap, coat, boots, gloves,

I shiver again,

No wind, no sound than squeaking of boots on snow,

Just cold,
