I can't taste
the serenity of snow
on my tongue
Nor feed myself
on air and water
droplets
Conditions surrounding me
Bite at my lungs
asphyxiating my words
and blinding my ears.
I could feel
the Season's wintry breath
on my hands
That feeling has been
and is gone.
Taste is an illusion
from nectarous lips
full of blood and life
gnawed to finis.
But I can feel
the Season's wintry breath
on my feet.
the Vernal Equinox breathing in
the song of the Lovebird.
