Winter Solstice

When you startle awake in the dark morning
heart pounding breathing fast
sitting bolt upright staring into
dark whirlpool black hole
feeling its suction
 
Get out of bed
knock at the door of your nearest friend
ask to lie down ask to be held
 
Listen while whispered words
turn the hole into deep night sky
stars close together
winter moon rising over white fields
nearby wren rustling dry leaves
distant owl echoing
two people walking up the road laughing
 
Let your soul laugh
let your heart sigh out
that long held breath so hollow in your stomach
so swollen in your throat
 
Already light is returning pairs of wings
lift softly off your eyelids one by one
each feathered edge clearer between you
and the pearl veil of day
 
You have nothing to do but live
