This night
The cold is as sharp as the point of a yucca blade,
And the snow lies like a lasting death upon the land.
Only the soft tread of a coyote scars the vastness of white.
But high in the dark heavens,
Through the blackness of a thousand nights,
A few brave stars shine down in knowing mercy,
And the great loneliness seems strangely like a friend.
