harness.
There's a warmth in that hand.
A warmth filling every cubic inch.
Reaching and breaching the dead winter
air
is a warmth as such I've yet to know.
Whispering the solstice away,
the warm and humid air
defrosts my panes.
A commanding hand
and a strong wrist.
The seconds tick away on
the transient diadem
and all of history
and all of time
is you,
you and this warm winter night.
