winter
by zebrasindenver
Put the flowers to earth and bring me the winter
turn up the stove and open the wine
send the squirrels to bed and welcome the winds
lay down your snow blanket and hand me the whiskey
lets move into the bars and keep warm as one
board up the windows and light me a cigarette
unpack our boots and turn on all the lights
let the air be thick and the wood glow warm
bring me the winter
this beautiful winter
