The fire in the kiva fireplace
Is cracking, mesquite exploding.
You come down the stairs at Las Brisas
Like laughter in the evening.
I in a chair by the front door sitting
Like a steward musing
About paper-bag existence,
About bitter-cold outside.
You smile. In a firelight sanctuario
We are primitives, the night's farolito.
