Hushed Intentions
Petals of Quince
Blooming across a tapestry of ice
Ivory carved mountains
reaching towards the sky
Running, flailing, gasping for air
leaving pools of rhubarb jam nearly everywhere
Exhaling thick vapor I march on, following your swan song
flares of red, orange and blue
kiss the virgin snow signaling the end of day
Cornered upon the tree line
Back thrust against an evergreen wall
the last breath is the hardest to draw
....
Frozen sheets of paper crafts will soon cover it all.
