Winter Day

A lune on winter.

six sides of crystal
glittering,
melting on the tongue.

boughs of evergreen,
thick encased
in glacier white coats.

quietly swishing
susurrus,
listening to its sighs.

slogging through the depth,
toboggan,
laughter melts the chill.

crisp day fades to dark,
bonfire blaze,
wintry night's delight.
