Poem: Snow Melt

 

Snow Melt

 

what mean passion slew a serene heart

which swelled as brave as Pegasus?

 

must contours weep to evict smooth muscles

for irascible nettles, 

those long-dead scarecrows

viscid with sludge?

 

the ashen, shrunken sun, 

do embers of regret 

rage in its spears?


or does the snow 

flee on its own devices,

tired of the envy of clouds?


why so envious, those clouds, 

raptures faraway,  closer to heaven?

similar, yes, to the beauty of the snow

save for the constancy they shed 

to fly.



==========================










7/30 ... heavy rework
