nearly a new year

December 27 - December 31 Week 50/72

the thirteenth full moon rides

a high trajectory across the sky

showing the way for light-footed foxes

crossing the frozen lake to

explore new hunting grounds

recent rains have vanquished

any remaining snow

revealing positives and negatives

arms and fingers of fragile

roots and icy water reaching

and reaching as a long exhale

of wind delivers a burst of snow dust
