The Snowbride
Flakes fall, a lead glitter
in terminal weep
among mouse skulls, asleep
in a fantasy heaven.
Deep eyes hold their coal
in her resting snow,
a taffeta landscape of dead love,
caged by spider's palaces
woven from a heart-wool cloud of not-to-be,
frozen among yellow'd confetti.
And as a century rolls,
time is frozen, like bronze bell's breath in air,
capturing in glass a sense of hope from a dream past;
each unbite of cake an unkiss,
undreamed,
awaiting a pane to shock and crack,
and a spring sunshine
to melt her.
