each day darker
moonless nights sweep from sleep to
waking—we build a fire
to fill the darkness replace
the sun coax sparks from dead wood

#Haiku Happenings #4: Jane Dougherty’s latest #tanka for my current #haikai challenge!
This is beautiful, Jane. If we had a fireplace, we would be doing that. 🙂
You have to build a great big fire outside. Half of France is doing that at the moment…
I think I’ll pass. . . daughter has a fire pit built into a sort of table on their deck.
Sounds like exactly the kind of set up for making seasonal sacrifices 🙂
I think some wine gets sacrificed. 😉
Some?

Very nice picture of the dark days of winter!
That’s why we need the light, wherever we find it 🙂
Yes!
….Coaxing sparks from dead wood!
