For Gabe

Winter in Boston


The geese are leaving me again

Every year when leaves give in to gravity 

They tell the same rambunctious tale


I know the geese will come back

And I can't be bothered by their complaints


The sun troubles me more

When it leaves each afternoon

I wonder each night why it loves me a little less

Why it makes its excuses sooner


I like how Orion returns each year

And how he stays with me through the cold, long night.
