Cold Night and Corderoy Coat Tails

Nights of stars, far off, clear,
Memories unlooked for, near.

Two Shadows billow in red-gold glow
Rumor born on winter’s blow.

Of Christmas lights, bright and blinking,
Of laughter, a smile, roguish, winking.

A walk in darkness, with winter nigh,
But warm with friendship and a starry sky.

...Some things are hard to forget
Now that it’s only one silhouette.
