poetry

snowsmoke

snowsmoke

in the white woods
veils of snowsmoke
descend like drapes
unfurling from conifer crowns
cascading with a flourish and fizz
that sets the whole atmosphere asparkle
heightens the drama
anywhere you look
a cloud of crystals
may breathe down your neck
the very next moment

magical shimmer
and cold uncomfortable reality –
that’s how it is these days –
you gotta find a way
to make room for both
