Close
Closer to the dark

We hold our breaths
What if
What if
This year it doesn't
Doesn't
Does
Not
Return?

Waiting, in the dark,
we turn to each other
for warmth
say a small prayer
for a large miracle

And wait, two, three days. . . .

And
JOY!
Again: the light begins
just begins, mind you,
to return.

The trail from Nazareth
leads here.

Again.
