Informs me
That there are
Tiny ancient ghost-spirits
Hiding in the hollow caverns
Of falling snow
That swallow sound
In a stormy
Savage
Hunger
Eating
Ravenously
Din
And noise
And pitch
Of traffic
Birds
And children’s voices
Gone were these
Leaving
A DEAFENING quiet
Over the
Brilliant white landscape
An inch of rain in 32 degree weather
Equals 10 inches of snow
Drop that temperature
Down into the 20's
And that increases to 15-20 inches
Drop that temperature
Down into the 20's
And that increases to 15-20 inches
The snow was coming down
3+ inches per hour
Plenty of room for covetous ghosts
The only perceived sonance to be heard
Was the gale of wind
Past my ears
The blood gently pumping
Through my veins
And spontaneous firings of the auditory nerves
As the icy prismic ghosts
Sparkled behind crystal
Ingesting everything else
That wasn’t inside me
At this point
Clearly outnumbered
Combat
Would be a lost
Noiseless
Dogfight
Bear arms my friends
Watch out for black ice
The silence
These spirits bring
Could cause
The crazies
To step out
From within
It was a good storm.
