Snow

Earth her cotton bra Slip on, soft white, fallen clouds Fresh milk of heaven This is the undress Of trees, rivers, homes and things Time's skin, milky white White as bones in light The feathers of angels wings Fruits upon the sight Now the heavens flake Petals cuddled on the ground Crystal dust of winds
