"The glacier knocks in the cupboard, The desert sighs in the bed, And the crack in the teacup opens A lane to the land of the dead."

-W.H. Auden

Just After Midnight

12:20 AM on the second day of the darkest month of the year.
A chill runs through me, as if a shadow has passed over, or a door has been opened somewhere.

Outside, all is silent. The big dipper sideways in the northern sky.

Perhaps it's just the landscape breathing. Perhaps.

We'll see.
