white shafts freeze to the air
like a tongue on heavy metal
balance escapes to the south
dictates gray for the shortest light
yesterdays gyrate underfoot and
tattered regrets thread the night
days emerge as age-old rags
when sleep is on vacation

'yesterdays gyrate underfoot and

This was especially poignant.
