Architects of Winter

Runaway
white spools —
showers of
snowy threads
spinning down —
woven in their
silent shroud —
blanketing the
ground.

Snowflakes
linger on air —
their feather-
weight bodies
float slow —
in awe of
the view.

Flakes frozen
in diagonal lines
across the sky —
weightless white
atoms building
a crystal lattice —
architects of Winter.
