The Fifth Season

Not Spring,not late but dark
The Hunter´s Moon is stolen,
Moths take to the woods,
                 as sparks.

And if I could form the night
And wonder at the polar stars
In my palm, the feel of wind
                 would be clay.

Trees are trapped in the half light
Unblessed and unconcerned with warmth
The late snow is trapped and full of sleep
                 as frost.
