Looking At Pictures Of The Loggias In Snow

looking at pictures of the loggias in snow
how could we remember where to go
in daylight enterprise or how or when

would the trains leave after seeing them?
let the purple skies remind you
at day's end

there are other ways to go
than the here and now
treading on the sidewalks

that you know
past the same brick houses
row on row.

you can look at the loggias in snow
and let it be their snow on snow
remembered

let it be the strange dreams sown
with ancient moonlight looking on
the light from

passed away stars.
