Emerging December.

 

 

Emerging December.

 

Stars like sparks splutter to bed

as dawn catches fire.

Sun\'s smut-red lips lower bend 

to kiss passing night.


Wintery glow wakens ending 

to autumnal skies.  

Emerging December intends 

to limit day\'s light.

 

But lit hearths and drawn blinds lessen

the wait for springtime.
