CHINESE ASTROLOGY

Me hanging from
a snow coloured tree

you throwing snowball
after snowball

& (! hee! hee!)  
missing me.

I telling you that I
(in Chinese Astrology)  

am a
Monkey!

You laugh
smoke steaming out
of your nostrils

tell me
(in Chinese Astrology)  

you’re a
Dragon.

See across the wet field of snow
footprints left in time

a laughing Dragon being given
a piggyback
by a cheery cheeky Monkey.

Stars
(a twinkle in their eye)  

smile down

on the you & me
of it all.
