earth

soft is the white snow.
cold as death’s icy fingers.
clothed in a white dress.

quickly dark’ning day.
sun shuts the door behind us.
left to night’s dark cold.

warm spiced hot cocoa.
dead green trees wrapped in blood red.
gaudy bright tinsel.

dancing on white snow
the sun sparkles like diamonds.
rich man with frostbite.

in the cold ice box
the sun is a distant tease.
warmth a memory.

it is crisp outside.
the moon sharp as a dagger.
soul sliced to ribbons.
