To the Moon, in Absence

#poetry
To the Moon, in Absence I passed you by though your light was spilling like wine over the roofs and the trees stood still as if listening for your step I might have spoken might have told you how the day’s weight bent my neck so I could not lift it toward you how the city’s lamps mimicked your sheen and tricked my eye away yet you remained a patient witness in the vault above while my shadow lengthened behind me like guilt if you find me again take me as the tide takes a leaf it never meant to lose carry me out until the shore is only a rumor

crows lift from the field
black thoughts shaken out of straw
startle the horizon

loyal dragon of comfort

Yule

#poetry
Yule snow comes down in patient flakes and hushes road and rail the hedges wear their thorny lace the night grows broad and pale i go where pines make narrowing aisles and resin sweet as prayer a bonfire speaks in fox-red tongues to whoever still comes there holly gleams like struck-up blood oak stands dark and true the old songs rise without a book and find their way right through they say the year has two fierce kings one leaf and bark, one bone and on this night the green one turns and gives the dark its throne i hold my hands above the fire as embers fly like seed the dark is not a wolf tonight but something i can feed -Gerhard Oevermann 2025

Solstice

#poetry
Solstice the sun is least the fields are still the sky turns slate the air turns chill and frost begins its quiet art to etch its iron into hearts i walk where hemlocks crowd the lane their needles black with resin-rain the last light thins a dimming thread then slips behind the ridge and is dead they say tonight the old ones near soft-footed drawn by stove and cheer so offerings set on sill and plate a small respect for what may wait out in the woods the white stag moves no sound beneath his hidden hooves his antlers hold a frozen gleam as if the dark itself can dream and in that stillness i understand the world obeys a quiet hand no hymn no bell just this release the light turns back the dark will cease -Gerhard Oevermann 2025
