A frozen corpse
rests on
white azure
yet all around
ten thousand snow flakes undisturbed.

A frozen corpse on an azure tundra,
face blanketed by an absent gasp.
In all directions ten thousand snow flakes
have escaped the attention of footprints.

Mystery! So much movement where none is!
i like the way this should feel bleak but doesn’t somehow. like magic. like white azure. lovely.
With fresh snow here today this one really speaks to me.
I especially love “face blanketed by an absent gasp.” Perfect interplay of what’s there and what’s not.
snow and more snow
you’ve captured my life 😉
