Moon of the First Snow
moon of ice
snow moon
Moon of green silver
etched in haze
floating in frostfog
Red berries bleed
under the snow
Red berries bleed
in the heart of the world
while flowers wait
in their icy stems
while flowers wait
in unplanted seeds
Moon among the trees
caught in the nets
of frozen branches
the rime ice
gives back your light
Moon
climbing the ice light
toward morning
while the moonvine sleeps
in its moon-shaped seed
