Jewels

Upon a peripheral somewhere
Iridescent crow wings
Scatter ice particles
   patches of air shatter

Sunlight sweeps the snow
Diamond blue blooms
   Splinters the senses

Frosted meanderings
Engrave the creeks seeping waters
   A sharp air polishes

Small owls emerge from snow drifts
Hunted fieldmice scatter
   F ox sniffs the scurrying
    
A newly unearthed sky pauses
Whiteness sprouts 
    Speckled rubies

Life stutters
Shimmers back
    Moves on
