Anticipation's puppet boy amazed
He fails an eager Yuletide rest to earn
To chase before the blinding dawn a blaze
That in his breast and blackened skies does burn
Sloth slow and cold and premature he peers
Obscured by trees and shadows long he moves
Cresting hills until the southern view appears
Orion and his dog above the roofs
A streak! A flash! A scalpel slice! A pause.
Agape with eyes of wonderment respect
Her shower of bedazzlement is law
That rules his heart as in the skies reflect
In meteoric way his course reset,
He pressed on through the dark
To have her rise with him to light the dawn,
Ablaze with lusty sparks.
