Weeping Coins Of Chocolate In The Snow

weeping coins of chocolate in the snow
the sugar-plum tree still shimmers
with its long-ago.

I've castled all my castled

on the checkerboard afternoon
and all the pieces are

pure crystal.

I can't begin to say how
much I've missed

the flurries of hard candies

with raspberry centers-
the lemon sun.

open the window

so the pink light
on the floor

will grow into a rose

we will not trample.
