A barren, treeless stretch of land
Buried beneath snow and stillness.
Here, the cold doesn’t just bite;
It consumes.

The whirlwind air scrapes skin...

Runner

...When the heart feels the
weight of unvoiced verses,
as the verdant embers of Venus
follow the frozen warmth
and the permafrost flickers
of persimmon and cinnamon,
like poetry slipping throu...

foggy freeze dried memories

icy daggers serrated his chilly mind
memories sharp as polar bear’s claws 
wielded reminiscent evocation in pain
how he longed for selective amnesia

Open To Interpretation

...It's there in the darkness
of Indigo red
Starlings streak the skies
in vapor trails of gold

Winds whistle familiar tunes
as the moon placates the sea's
Time hangs motionless
