Lamp Room Poem

Outside, it’s cold,
Dark, and clouded.
You’ve stood out there
Hugging your chest,

Chanting the poems
You’ve memorized
For nobody.
You’ve come back in

To electric
Luxuriance,
Purring heater,
Golden lampshade.

Now what? Small thing
In a firm chair,
Compose yourself.
Morning’s coming.
