raze
the
transparent sphere
that
encased
our
city
has
splintered,
taking
with
it
all
the
oil
that
slowed
our
steps
to
sluggish
swimming
.
when
we
were
figurines
in
a
winter
nocturne,
unseen
hands
shook
our
tiny
frames
and
the
architect
of
all
our
movement
stood
back
to
watch
us
fall
apart
.
now
our
lives
are
strafed
with
flecks
of
white
wonder
beholden
to
no
mercurial
god
.
we
are
a
blizzard
in
a
film
hemorrhaging
colour
.
as
the
full
spectrum
of
available
light
leans
back
into
the
frame
,
we
see
what
we
thought
was
snow
was
gold
all
along
.
we
catch
the
flakes
on
our
tongues
and
swallow
what's
precious
to
better
learn
the
language
of
metallurgy.
