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.



9.8.20
6.24.21 edit to fix "'blustered sun' peering" to "'sun bluster' peered"

33 lines, for nothing in particular, just in case.

Title borrowed from a line and episode of Atypical.
It imagines me imagining me a penguin in childhood. sorry to give it away.
