Assembly Required

In bits and pieces
they fall from heaven,
disassembled snowmen,
one flake after the other,
strewn about the countryside,
discovered by those young at heart,
and with a dash
of imaginative insight,
they roll a gleeful creature
in their own image.
No directions needed.

Moonlight

It delivers a promise from the sun
upon a slender shoot whose spiky tip
slices black windows.
Yet night still penetrates,
an ink stain upon linen,
and the owls, ever vigilant,
stare wide eyed into the deep darkness
of our shadowed insecurities.
