Avalanche
Masses
of snow
crunchy
and picturesquely slushy,
deep
and treacherous,
grainy
and loose,
shatter
like broken glasses
on
the remotely towering hills.
There
are snowflakes ensconced in
each
layer of the season,
you
can’t tell which layer is
frosting
the heart.
Big
dumps of snow,
a
hard freeze, loose and powdery
now
washing out the
cold-blooded,
pachydermatous
pegs
on the skin.
Snow
slopes are loyal to
destructive
jiffy
under
the sun’s apathy,
they
don’t make love,
yet
they glide in the winter months.
under
the sun’s warmth,
they
dissipate like
white
chocolate melts on
the
bronzed lava cake of the spring.
Spring
or Autumn,
it
moves across the terrain,
it
uproots the gripping trees and
discards
them into piles of debris,
and
fractures the
mass
of bones in the body to create
Avalanche.
It’s
Avalanche!
