Poem Friday


Solstice

when the sun stands still
in a holding pattern

the brooding man in the moon
cocks an eye toward Centaur

sees a cosmic change
created by incoming of man

the season turns on cue
in shadows and crannies

at the dark of this moon
when the sun stands still

Late. Not so Much.





winter, off kilter,
jumped
from the grateful day
of autumn, dropped
swirlwinds of flakes
a yardstick in depth

solstice, so timely,
arrived
on a flash of Sun
wings of New Moon
linked to Pluto and Mars
frosted flakes in layers of ice

R.S.V.P.'s intact
they partied as one
flung knapsacks of snow
into the eerie silence
and settled under cover
for a long-season slumber
