snowfall

you captured my longing
my desire
for cold mystery
for swirling stimulation
cerebral satisfaction
for the geometric perfection of the flake
that is unlike any other

I fondled your uniqueness between fragile fingers
of hubris
of deception

you are my dripping dream
of brittle death

my heart entombed
in a frozen reflection of itself

you are winter
the snowfall that reminds me of home

the wheels roll out
as white wings flex their metallic muscles

I fly through your blizzard
until I am
above you
beyond you

and when I land
I find myself in a place
where the season has changed
