Winter Stars Haiku

half awake, alone ...
winter stars upon stars 
upon stars



FYI: This haiku could be read as a prequel to the following:

more darkness
more stars
moving on

the river
curves through winter mist
a man at its edge


Added:

the sound
of screeching tires
twilight chill


Added:

hilltop cross ...
the shape
of this misty night
