Winter Light

For Joyce My hands remember your brightness Your face graces the morning Lights up the winter darkness You light up the winter darkness Common serpents curse winter suns my hands remember your brightness. My hands remember your brightness, the windy blood in song, on a clay harp sung, You Light up the winter darkness. Your warmth lights the frosty air And you, my love basking in pale light Thinking of you wrapped in sunlight, My hands remember your brightness, You light up the winter's bleakness.
