It was time for you to go, But still you stayed. I marvelled at the white Befeathered flakes that tangled in your hair. One crystal star got caught on up-curled lash; And clung precariously, then melted there. It looked so like a tear in its wild dash Across your scarlet cheek, I knew a mad Impulse to kiss its wetly coursing flight; But caught myself in time, for if I had, You might have vanished whitely with the night. You hugged yourself and tap-danced on the street, For it was cold. Your breath was little puffs Of misty vapor. Both my hands and feet \Vere numb, you pushed your hands inside your cuffs To keep them warm. But it was getting late, I had to make the plunge or never know: Some mumbled words fell out about a date For next week's game. You said you'd love to go: And then the door to your house opened wide â€"â€" You laughed and guessed you'd have to go inside. 25
