Burnished Snow

Misty waves flow with

dizzying accuracy,

laughing at feeble human attempts

at configuring,

and re-membering;

Crystals of startling brilliance

glare unflinchingly at pained

and dimmed eyes;

Manipulating hands

lie cold,

bitten with blue shards:

Turning purple and red hues

to its eternal shade of solid ice
