Winter Moon Fields

She sits and watches 
the silver of the moon
     dance 
in the absence of light 
over winter-white fields 
and sink
     beneath the snow 
and drown

She knows not 
what she creates 
but she can feel it 
     draining 
as the black of night 
     becomes her day 
and 
     in
        destroying
              perfection 
knows
she has achieved it.
