let
the new snow
rest
in the trees
let
the new light
peel
over the mountains
step away
from what is slow
and tangled
from what is withered
and familiar
home
is a feral moon
stretching long shadows
home
is a constellation
of tiny things
brilliant
and vulnerable
home
is reason enough
to linger
in this life
just a little bit longer

let
the new snow
rest

let

from what is slow

stretching long shadows
home
is a constellation
of tiny things
brilliant
and vulnerable
home
is reason enough
to linger
in this life
just a little bit longer
