Slow dream of stars
Trees fringing the sky
Heaven’s riverbank

Crescent of silence
Like the wing of an owl
Another world

Single silver bloom
Dark sky plowed deep and wide
Soon the longest night

Heartwood and song

return to stardust, warming

the dark-cold night

Nestled in the trees,

This pile of clouds promises

To soften my night

Time bending like a 

beeswax flame; cold night warmed by

summer-clover blaze

 

Single silver bloom

Dark sky plowed deep and wide

Soon the longest night
