DECEMBER EIGHTH

DECEMBER EIGHTH
Handel's concertos on the radio
followed by afternoon news:
another valiant woman
has died this day.
A slim crescent moon
shines in sunset skies,
a poem knocks
at the door
in this darkest time of year.
What shall I do
with the poem, with this moon,
with the music, her death
and o, what shall I do
about all this darkness?
~ Sharon Auberle
