Blanket of Fluff

BLANKET OF FLUFF a halo of snowflakes ****** encircles my * crown * ********* alights on brisk hair f l u t t e r s on lashes dusts my wool coat playfully *hangs* on my winter * scarf * numb fingers inside homemade gloves gather around the warmth of the palm flake friends compress my boots ***** ***** ***** leaving prints and crunch - as i walk in pure white - newness of life a camouflaged bunny appears so opal bright. is he a shovelful of snow, or born of a cookie cutter’s press? an artist spreads s n o w f l a k e s with his bunny tail brush only irises and pupils, pink noses and cheeks, p e e k out from the artist’s blanket of fluff.
