Shed by Leonard M HawkesWe sheltered here,
But still the sun was hot.
And in that heat,
(No longer strangers)
We easily found
The common means
Through sacred and profane.
Now as I balance in
Icy tracks, trampled snow;
Gasp winter wind and
Fumble awkward key
Into frozen lock—
I seek your simple ease,
And that common warmth of summer.
