Twilight and fog 
descending a powdered pond. 
A frozen bird, wings still and silent 
shivering shakes and cold cravings;
a frozen man, shivering, 
shaking and cursing a foggy brain. 
In winter months of dreaded darkness
beware beware beware:
going cold turkey
carry a pernicious penalty
as death looms in a twilight
– far beyond the fog.
