THE SNOWMAN AT SOLSTICE
Today is the shortest day
of the year.
It’s the day we see the bright white stars
the longest all year.
The Snowman knows the meanings
of time and timelessness:
he knows why it’s Christ mass
and why the rain becomes white
like milk. He knows why
the Druids dance in the darkness.
If he could, he would dance too.
