Orange crescent low in the sky
This last night before solstice—
And all thoughts are on Christmas,
Now less than a week away.
I’d love to offer the world
The gift of this orange moon,
But it’s busy with dying,
Called business-as-usual,
And none of that has a thing
To do with your shining eyes,
This eve before the shortest
Night of the rest of our lives.
