december evening octet

for Colby


five paperwhite blooms, their star faces open,
exhale April as winter’s needle rain glints

silver through amber lights—last night’s time machine:
Orion’s scintillation over unleafed

maple boughs & breath’s quick clouds at a walk’s end;
tonight, cold water from an aluminum

cup, the diode’s glow filtered through lampshade’s web:
procession of peace through loss & regaining
