Poignant, its ecstatic mime, shortened
by manmade suns, but typical,
demise-begun sleds down
the long hill of the climb.

Acrimony burns its breath into flash
demands, cooling, as seasons
get out of hand.

Often times reflex storm becomes
blizzard's blazing greed to see
falling snowmen.

Melting provides opaqueness to frosted life.
Snowman cries out, and dies,
manmade fires reflected
in black coal eyes.
