Sheet whites billow into balloons
then thin to sickled moons; light
oozing out in an opaline Day-Glo…
Rich mist spreads, spraying wider
milk-bright swirls of a snowstorm…

Mountain’s giant sham
of eiders’ fluffy-soft; so
newly hatched penguin,
deep-dives into ice-bird:
A hard-beaked miasma
yielding as diamond ply…
