| Candles burn softly in the quiet meetinghouse. outside: dark silence |
| in the dark spaces between strangers and lovers near perfect vision |
| Inside: worshippers sit together in silence. outside: drifting snow. |
| snow flakes softly fall after your memorial friends kissing good-bye |
| Even in winter with snow falling the elder comes to wind the clock |
| a covered meeting inside: the warm meetinghouse; outside: drifting snow |
| yellow vase on sill a Y of witch hazel blooms icicles outside |
