sharp sunlight

through frosted trees -

slender shadows

 

laughing lovers -

tongues taste

virgin snowflakes

 

quilted snow -

grasses grasp a breeze

and rustle

 

iced eyelashes -

tears grow lights

that will never fall

 

a winter sunset

is loud in silence -

birds listen

 

old words tingle

in warm memories -

eyes smile

 

snow crystals drink

daylight dry -

glow into night
