Playful

One star

waits 

to leap frog

Sister Moon

or perhaps

jump into

her half-moon

saucer

and sled

across

the dawn horizon

Cold lights

Two stars

tag behind

Sister Moon

the last

of midnight's 

cold lights

to wink

at her smiling

descent

Hour 'til sunrise

New day
new year
like so many 
beginnings
undetectable
under a layer
of dirty frost
an hour from dawn
so we're stumbling
sleepy
in the dark
never really ready
for change
but change
is always waiting
for us
