Covid Journal, Day 277: Winter Solstice



Smoke curls and swirls
heavenward, through reaching
branches naked white against
a dying day.
The darkest night holds in its cusp
the birth of light, slow and quiet–
an owl drifts tree to tree
and somewhere Coyote sings
a song ancient as the mistletoe,
the holly and the ivy,
weaving through wisps
of flames and stars.
