Luminaries Look Forward to the Past

They spell it out at night
exist by day as paper bags
candles inside

but by night they burn
into dreams, into night under
the gateway to the North Umpqua
its wall its tower
Mt. Scott ten miles away
as the raven flies
covered in snowscape huge
every moon a super moon
heavy glob this one
almost an arctic sun
bathing the clouds
bathing the luminarias
I mean farolitos
excuse the mistake
please luminary
regarding the naming
the calling out the remembering.
