merciless winter

snow is bitter, even
though it glitters
like silver pennies
in blinding sunlight.

there’s just enough
heat to melt a razor layer
that stabs when broken
not yet enough to absolve
completely.

nothing is beautiful
about this nature.
ice laces the edge
of transparent wings,
there is no reincarnation,
and dragonflies freeze easily.
