swift winds shift and whisper
and make naked timbers moan.
stone Grey river veins make plains
stake claims to fallen snow
slow Crystal thorns form horns
like a beasts sleek teeth, dripping,
stripping ripped clothes bare
flesh rests under much less kept.
wet breaths rest but cast sighs
aside from the skies wild eyes.
rise the steam off streets.
sleep
fog lofts in soft ribbons twisting
lifting mist thickens and dark clouds
stain in shades of purple gray.
rays strain in brilliant vain, but shine
muted weak beams between
and peek eagerly as if to see
but tease
and pass rapidly back inside.
