January, "Moon of the popping Trees"

Night desert
Moon-washed and clear
Empty between the stars
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnthe sand horizon glows quiet

Snow is down
Mesas set ship-like
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxJourneying motionless
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxon the desert sea

Moonlit ice-dry night
Branches of great pines burst
In night cracking cold

It is January
"Moon of the popping trees."
