with winter's breath
we followed relentlessly
wandering and questioning
(the answer blanks left empty)
and after prying the church keys
from their gaunt knuckled hands
(the finality of it all
the intimacy yet the yawning distance)
the keys like icicles
searing our ice-water hands
Thundering loose the lock
we lurched through the door
into the cathedral of writing
