No Melting Here

The flakes scatter.

And I imagine myself

one of the flurry’s pack.

Desperate

to rejoin

my falling comrades.

I spin and sputter.

Through the wind’s misdirection.

It was never an artist.

It cannot begin

to understand

the strength.

Of the blue.

Driving my frenzied white.

Higher.

Higher.

Tempting the sun.

I refuse to break.

My run is my will.

And I am more than willing.

To dissolve.

For the cause.
