necessary poem

Okay, it's technically february, but I do like this poem:

January

The days are short,
the sun a spark
Hung thin between
the dark and dark


Fat snowy footsteps
track the floor,
Milk bottles burst
outside the door.


The river is
a frozen place
Held still beneath
the trees of lace


The sky is low,
the wind is gray
The radiator
purrs all day.
