Bright Days of Darkness



30 degrees when I woke
20 as I continue my happy hour at home
in the garage
and wind-swept tundra yards toss mist for me
as I watch the clouds wiz by backlit by the winter moon

            leaping from my fingers like eternal obscurity
                        streaking from my frozen beer lips like
                                    bearded medieval man blowing smoke rings at the same pale face
                                                of the solstice –
