Made It Through Another Winter

Made It Through Another Winter

yes,when dawn breaks the slot and light no longer moves forward but then swings the pendulum back the cold earth warms, not that we notice, so we mark the wall

or stand the massive stones, and dance by the fire

soon we do notice and by the time our stone and the source, swing evenly to the arc of the stars the birds have noticed, and gather nests

but if in luck we hear them as the snow melts

our blood and water run again as the planet spins its circle and paths cross equinox past
