I captured the morning star this morning,
it peeked over the cold horizon
& I trapped it
inside my kaleidoscope-eyes.

An icy breeze added
some enlightenment
as I turned
to watch the moon
disappear
between the sumacs.

I stood there,
naked against the sun
& could only wonder,
see you in my dreams,
thinking
about the death of winter
& the warmth
of your kisses.
