Snow Girl
with arms outstretched
girl twirls as snow falls faintly
in a landscape of derelict white
young face upturned
a soft mouth that widens
for her tongue catching flakes
like disappearing gems
small spikes of cold
a secret happiness in plucky spins
a pulse she senses like stitching dreams
wistful musings
lifting her spirits from the discord of home
scooped like jam
she twirls and twirls
self propelled
her eyes teary with the melt of snow
till the gray coat of December slips from her
in icy silence
like unspoken wishing
her dance
whiffs of hope that steam the air
an ease of forgetting
her trusted possession
gleaming
just beneath winter's
stare
