Winter Light
For Joyce
My hands remember your brightness
Your face graces the morning
Lights up the winter darkness
You light up the winter darkness
Common serpents curse winter suns
my hands remember your brightness.
My hands remember your brightness,
the windy blood in song, on a clay harp sung,
You Light up the winter darkness.
Your warmth lights the frosty air
And you, my love basking in pale light
Thinking of you wrapped in sunlight,
My hands remember your brightness,
You light up the winter's bleakness.
