Brittle Resilience

The world awakens

To a wintry surprise.

The roads are a mirror,

The grass is white. 

The modern man returns to bed. 

But for the one girl,

Whose world will not be silenced,

Takes the snow as a gift.

It quiets the world around her,

Wraps it in a blanket. 

So she wanders. 

She is good at wandering.
