winter’s solstice
the winter’s skyline
above the skyline
solstice
the sun it grasps
above the sun doesn’t rise here
it grasps
doesn’t rise far
far here
far

alive and dead
alive and the living moss
the living dead damp moss
the living damp acidic moss
the living acidic ground moss
the living ground grows moss
the living
grows sphagnum moss
the living sphagnum moss
moss, the living moss
the living moss
the living
the living

it's frozen
it’s water
thin water frozen
but bone thin
but there is matte-like bone
there is no translucence
it’s matte-like
no translucence
it’s no translucence
it’s no translucence

some briars
and the winter
and hazels
of the hazels in the corner
in the glow of
in the corner of
the shone in
the glow of the field
field shone field
