AETERNUS

25 December, again

 

The sun rises, though snow falls.

Sight fails in winter solstice.

Evidence of day arrives otherwise.

Love's dolour regenerates

from what there was of yesterday.

Knee bones ache a day more.

 

The aging house cat, Hope,

leaps lamely to the floor.

 

O! for a home where buffalo roamed.

The sun also falls, though sight still fail.

You own a debt from the dying day.

A truth hums in silent light.

 

A lack of completion is lessening.

A moveless sun in snowless mood, come.
