Barricade Moon

Full cold moon
brings a luminous gift
three blessed nights
to lift the December sky
with shining songs that dance
like early snow
In voices harmonized through the ether
we weave a chorus of dreams
from indigo throats to silver thighs
like beavers in autumn
we revel in retreat
to the nest whose address
only we know
as the city flows around us
We rest at quiet anchor
hearts and minds entwined
beneath our barricade moon
