Light a candle to remind the sun of what it ought to be doing.

Decorate your home with greenery to give the woodland spirits a warm refuge in this dark of the year.

We’re on the upswing now. Celebrate the birth of a new year.

I point out the ice on the power lines, dripping wet into clean frozen plumes.

Look how solid, how still (oh us!) in the swinging blast of this epic chill,

and yet, we both know they crack, (don’t we?) break, drip, give up, crash, come

down and turn to earth again. Gone the sparkle, the dazzling spike of shiver

that threatens to stick around forever, like agony. I want to see it die: unfriendly

numbness. The largeness in me, the hot gore of my want and want, wants to disarm

the fixedness of this. I’ll be the strike anywhere, the reckless match you can count on

to claim a life, or save one.
