The Silencing Properties Of Snow
the silencing properties of snow
ice flat serves the black skin
smooth gliding,
sailing on
masses roaming a warming sea.
snow tacked to orange feet
toddle, hopping,
flopping
in an clear ocean heaving thick tides.
when we make land
i will build a fire for us
with hands bare
to the arctic blasts that slow,
and lay
flat on this ground,
recall childhood and
the silencing properties of snow.
home alone in a fort
i called igloo,
in a tight gray and black parka,
a hopping bird reveled
microscopic jewels gleaming.
wind-tossed, the dry crystals
glimmer amid a sun bluster,
peer in, as if they could
crack the air --
the swirling divide,
a tempest of white.
found with my angels,
above the sky howls, a bellow
from behind the heavy door, come eat soup and crackers,
drink cocoa.
