December 29 poem

it only takes
one step
until
you are
outside
where the world
hides
everything
you touch
seems to freeze
framed
by your breath
laughing
as it swirls
around your head
the only audience
a thousand streetlights
silent sentinels
that see all things
and nothing
at once
they will not
dream of us
when they close
their eyes
they will not
even know
we are gone.
