Snow White Darkness

Snow White Darkness

 

 

ice assembles 

on the street

a massive protest

causing a frozen disturbance

a chaotic crowd of 

spinning convertibles

drivers with eye icicles

Signs carried saying 

"slow down, life will wait"

 

tree branches glisten

with the sunlight

as the mob melts slowly

 

dripping pipes roar into being

little faces wrapped in electricity

 

the lights are on

everyone was already

home

 

i am home

in my cold self.

Powerful imagery and use of the senses. I felt this.

The title alone grabbed my attention. ' Snow White Darkness. '
True on many levels.

Yes, sunlight does make the mob melt slowly. Not fast enough for some.
There's something magical about ' tree branches ' that ' glisten. '

Staying inside where it's nice and warm is wonderful too. : )

This is so beautifully written and presented, Jacob.
