The light snow flurries through the air
settling onto everything in sight.
The upper layer of the hard snow crunched and collapsed beneath my pace,
opening casam after casam of watery pits.
I tried moving fast
yet with each quickening step more force was applied to the hard icy film,
sharding and breaking it.
The crevasses’ splashing out water, that water dampening and freezing my boots,
` my feet with them

I tore my gauntlets off,
as they fell one clanged up against the hilt of my sword
Forming a strikingly crisp sound within the...

Smoke billowed from the depths of the definitionless.
                                                                     Bright highlighted mellow violet  
                      Blue rays, parallel. Yellowed skylights  
                                           Joy- simplified, to capital consumption.

or the dirt lying around
uneven, but relatively flat,
Waiting for a moment that’ll last.
An unsure future.
A thoughtless past.
Time moves as the shadows cast.
I’m just waiting for what?
Good luck?
But I don't believe in that shit.
So no siree.
Nigh I.
Not me....
and the robin stands tall and proud
upon a stump ...

Crows are the bringers of the frost,
the late dawn and
the eerie dreary days that haunt us;
by September,
come October,
gone December.
The fallen colors of false flame sparks
remnants of the warmth we once had,
now gone
soon to fade, to brown and fallen to the dirt
crushed beneath the snow
forgotten.

Plank wood fences and ballast roads
Iron equators:
not unlike rib, not unlike bone.
Fall- the golden spike
The transeasonal railway.
Luxurious dining cars serve as our hideaways
