Dankness
hangs
in a heaviness
that foreshadows
our ivory sojourn

rotund
menacing figures
intending to bruise
our fragile interiors

her chill
pierces
our knowingness
weaving
her imposing intentions

blanketing us
with numbing white
erupting winds
play in fortissimo

we witness
her intense
velocity
boldly declaring
her visibility

constructs
of freshly fallen
pearls
of conformity

icicles
in the running
coalesce
becoming
daunting
spears of resistance

we yield
to her entrenching force
crystal clear
commanding
stillness.
