2012 winter solstice

2012-12-11

granite flames
stars old names
solid ground and frozen grass

cattails sleep
oak trees weave
sky that goes from light to dark

water bell
reflecting whispers with the wind

crow calls hunger
mice come in

dog barks
something moves
we close in
ponder nod and shake our heads

solstice embers
fire and stars
celebrate the light
that warms
the sky
