winter sycamore

i am a winter sycamore
bone stark
bedecked with cold sun
seeds--a waiting
that looks like death

your spark a star

the universe 
        will not feel 
                Your passage     
                        but i will

the bright dark 
        will ever be 
                one spark less
  
that spark a 
        Star to me
                a compass point
    
in the dark
        i will know
                far beyond my eyes
