Winter
into a ditch I slide
blazing cold
inside a white mountain, I hide
under a duvet of snow, I sleep
a bear in hibernation
up to my knees, 6 feet deep
snowflakes falling
shining white crystals
the woods, calling
a frozen tale
can’t feel my fingers
my face, frostbitten & pale
into the snow I stare
blinded by the light of diamonds
it’s a dare
a duel at the break of dawn
a snowball flying
a morning yawn
and I’m shivering
