blizzard warning morning
something to wake up to
on this day after solstice
longest night after shortest day
but now light lengthens more each week
as winter grips our wrists not letting go
denting white finger marks on skin
eyes look upward for the Christmas star
Jupiter and Saturn aligned for the first time in 800 years
but clouds cover and street lights obscure
and so the snow will pile up
and winds will chill
and we will imagine an infant born
