Orion/Companion
long light hair falling into his eyes
under the constellations it gleamed
in silver glory
his eyes were full of light
as the ice popped and cooled
forming a shell shaped to my body
as the ice and I became one
Orion hunted endlessly, Canis Major and Minor
snapping at his heels
seemed like a part of the
winter night all whitesilver
we became part of the night.
felt a deep love for this cool beast
natural and unaffected by the fact that in daylight
he would melt into the crowd
the night lent him its immortal beauty
gilding his lashes to shining rims
around star-filled eyes
as we lay in the crystal night
ice began to form where my heat had melted the snow but
the ground around him was untouched
I wonder if there will be tracks
in the morning to tell if this were a dream?
