Yet Another Sleepy Solstice

yet another sleepy solstice, 
one more quiet December 
treading uncertain ground 
as each day slides 
into the next 
covered with wet snow 
that melts to muddy brown 
until the temperature suddenly shifts 
now bleaker and colder 
into windswept icy white powder 
that swirls and drifts 
onto ledges 
and under edges 

this is always when I
sleep the best and longest 
deep in the cold black,
window open just a crack 
seeking solace in my warm bed
as everything disolves
into the infinite dark night
