days undo themselves
into night––
leaves abandon trees
to follow the light
into the ground
time turns upside-
down––
tendrils of cold
surround a descending
star––
beauty
comes softly
like a bride
in perfect
white fur
slippers
the sky hardens
into a mirror
of cerulean
blue
to awaken the sun
on a glittering horizon
in our hallelujah
hearts
