Bone-deep in winter
meadow trees are sleeping, but
time skates on thin ice.

What are these icy blades
that pull words crisp
through dunes of snow,
that draw my heart
to shiver
in your sea?
Fly if you must
beyond this salty mood
(still frozen to my cheek)
and I will wait
for winter’s hands
to thaw.

Night turns to ice
as Comet
spreads his tail
like a bird.
She covers tiny trees
against the frost
and watches
as the fan of light
outshine the stars.
Once in a lifetime
or a thousand years,
it doesn’t matter –
she’ll know him when
he comes again.
