We were riding

We were riding through frozen fields in a wagon at dawn~Czeslaw Milosz

riding, carefree, we
had no thought to the outcome
within dawn's steel light

fall grapes, frozen now
we worship winter's apples
honey helps soothe hurts

before the dawn comes
struggle weaves through wagon's grace
then--precious light beads

pointilistic flight
through windy tribal forest
we are one right now

past crumbles under
the sharp wooden wheel, pushing
towards a brand new day
