All the Little Pieces

How to rewind
broken,

the subtle shift of shard
and floor

laid between night’s
fall

and the morning’s first
glow. Take this

lantern. Set it
on the wall. Remove

the glass. Do not
light the candle.

Wait.

  1. Timely reading this on the eve of Winter Solstice … here’s to productive use of the extra dark, may we all wait with patience and w/o contrived light. Also w/o shards on the floor, hopefully (as probable we’ll stir around a bit during the dark!)
