No living thing has personal experience with its ways.
Its artfulness lives in death, a blending of loss and

Psychics are deluded individuals with 
the peculiar notion that they can
serve as spiritual correspondents.

and whispers of a breeze

size XL ego; but, there is hope that with exactitude
the wasted words can be dislodged and a

My past is present when memory
is scented by the perfume of Spring
lilacs and the smokiness of
burning Autumn leaves.

passing down a deserted rain slick street
in the middle of the night
speaks of desolation.

from creatures whose lives
are lived in brine.

Gaunt reminders of time's passage
are caught in the sere grass
at the edge of the path.

Silent, drifting, insulating, crystalline, white,
wet, and cold are only some of the aspects
of the fast approaching 
snows.
