Silver runners

Silver runners in the sky

reindeer streaking across the stars

slipping across the fields and ploughing

through meteor blizzards.

Diamond hooves splitting star-beams

fur coats dancing with comet flakes

they ring their bells in chiming cacophony shimmers

with electro-galactic currents.

Where they pass space shimmers

and stirs, thinning and softening

so they may slide through

should they choose.

Where they miss time reaches

and beckons, slowing and pooling

hoping for a diamond

hoof print, just one.

And still they leap across

interstices of light,

sending back greetings

from the other side of night.
