On Packed Snow
I begin as
the snow is
He waits at the end of road
huffing steam
I’m to cross the fresh-fallen snow and give myself away
the smokestack billows
the bated night watches
His spit in my mouth dissipates
and the pits stare
I see eyes behind the curtains
Tracing the paths of dried cum on my stomach
down to the clearing where we rolled like wolves
held by melted tracks
the sun pulls out
the snow smells animalic and knows no difference
