Like fat crystalline flakes
It skitters across the darkling sky
like staccato flatulence
it melts the red dawn that comes to greet it
it is a petrified sun
broadcasting wolfish yelps
it crackles in the harbors of men
where odoriferous igloo men reside
it bends its head to peek at itself
amenless
burying angst in the budding branches of long-dead lilacs
floats like corn flakes
in a bowl of almond milk
they genuflect and wait
peep out at the ones who take out the garbage
scoff at the tepidity of the crocuses snuffed out
interred beneath to await resurrection
in the melting deluge of feather-down snow falls
daffodil satyrs prepare to stand erect,
born in yellow lakes of a drowning world
it comes like that.
