FEBRUARY MOON

for Stephanie

Wind rushes in a vortex around the courtyard outside your bedroom. Needles cling to their boughs as air currents make their turns and rattle the rickety windows of the old apartment building. And there you are, in bed, limbs wrapped in currents of warm blankets and a stuffed dog, the room silvered with the chill of the bright February moon; your face in the state of still that sleep brings.
