I searched for you through the endless expanse of night’s long blackness,

imagine the hues …
the shades and shapes and colors -
the breadth of light and exquisite beauty

Shapely bottles of champagnes have shone
And have broken to fragments with the ululation
Of firecrackers that warmed cold and dark wintry skies.
