Ritual for a Crystal Hour Valentine

On a cold humid morning
Just after sunrise
When icy crystals gather
Covering everything with stars
Winter's first flowers
Melting in an hour
Take off your shoes and socks
And walk out across that fire
Until your teeth chatter
And you're ready to surrender
To becoming winter
A falling body of snow
And the stillness that comes after
Of all that you can know
