Snow
SNOW
Fallen snow, forming a
Chrysalis for the nascent day
Making messy adages
On the ground to lay-
anti-heath, heap, molecular
Water encumbered with
The frozen sky, glossy air-ears
Listen to the ensuing conferences
Between chemical variants
Parceling special pieces
Of snowflakes.
And day- now held,
Now aghast, the ancient air-hole,
Gaunt fallen leaves and grass
Requisitioned for their
Open space- to lay,
To pray, tundra’d land
An icy hell-scape-

I've been off the sub for a while and this is the first one I've read in months, and it is absolutely beautiful. Glad to see how poetry still hits me right. Cheers!
