The snowflakes drift by

a shortcut home

winter lining up 

the fragile wishful hope of the night

 

A grain of dust. and the resounds of bells

brought forth the freezing cavern of this world

a fermenting dispirited battlefield

a season in sediments, the sudden swells

 

Supposed we face each other

via a cake carver

a surmise circled inside a fence

a conquest in barbwire.
