L. Boyer   Waking in the deep December night, a howling wind-lashed torrent weeps  about this cabin where I lie motionless,  —a warm corpse, naked face chilled— breathing plumes of vapor in the dark.  Breathing in, breathing out ...  Breathing in, breathing out ...  Breathing in, breathing out ... Breathing in, breathing out …  As the invisible breath-door swings back and forth, in the silent empty space  between thoughts, everything is clear:  The soft warmth of flannel bedding embraces and comforts me. Hard rain dances on the roof with ten thousand nimble feet.
