firelight

burn

burn.

the sky

is folded

and put away

on the shelf.

the sun

is unravelled

with her

flame chiffon

skirt,

hitched high

might

the moon

wear

a dress

today?

pearly white

or silver?

early day

with beacons

glowing on

mountain peaks

wearing cloaks of

snow.

and ermine

sprinkled,

my thoughts

are turning

with her

sleepy eyes

and the moon

and sun

are tangled

in her hair

again.

what would

night say?
