Without a thought, he said
“Go, Dash, go, Dancer”
And they dropped their heads
Disappeared into the cloudbank
Following those silvery sparks
Gathering the distance
Between this chilly flight and sugar plums dancing
Those silver bells didn’t make a sound when they fell to rest
At the bottom of Superior
Just above earshot, he said
“Go Dash, go Dancer”
And they dropped their heads, disappeared into the lake
Through the splintery ice
Into the slippery waters
Towards the falling embers
Above thy deep and dreamless sky
He wishes luck and mercy mild upon them
Remembers velveteen dusted with the season’s first snow
He’s sorry to have left you
But there was so far left to go
And the lake was icing over
All is calm, all is bright
Guppies punch pinholes through brittle ice
All is calm, all is bright
Tinsel-threaded birds’ nests catch the light
All is calm, all is bright
And they’re dragging the lake
With peppermint hooks
Pink rushing to frostbit tips
Wringing hands like bundled sticks
Wishing luck and mercy mild
Wishing luck and mercy mild
Above thy deep and dreamless sky
