I fold the silence into squares
and stack them on the cedar desk.
No visitors today—

The wind slides its cold palm
along the high stone wall,
as the candle gutters low
in a pool of its own wax.
​I have locked the heavy doors
and swallowed the key,
leaving the courtyard empty
for the snow to write its name
across the dark.
