Snow Blind




Her breath moves without sound
upon my restless death

ridicules the tainted tirade
of dim nights flooded by
depleted star-glimmer
over impatient ivory surf

and pretends light makes
a difference to me.

I am more alive behind
closed lids, chastised -
pressing soul and chalice
to my unheard heart

than if rekindled by her
scavenger's low tide
that mocks my empty womb.
