Clouds slither below / me, above a mountain lake. / Blue shadows, bright snow.
Frankenstein's first steps / as a monster in sunshine, / green as lily-pads.
Drumbeats pulsating / through plumbing from street to street, / graffiti in sun.
Afternoon moon, sky, / mountain river's glacial strength / flows through today's soul.
Thread through a needle / camels loaded with gold, or / give away your wealth.
Coziness of sheets, / after weeks of stained blankets, / en-wrapping rapture.
Walking through incense, / then sitting. Suddenly grief / releases like smoke.
Fled mountain clouds left / each spruce needle coated in / bright frozen vapor.
Even old man's beard shines, / dangling from twigs clothed in / en-frosted sunlight.
So many shades of blue / in this mountaintop view as / clouds blow by beside.
On a weighed down / branch crystallized snowsticles / grow dazzling patterns.
Frosted silhouette / of one spruce overlooking / a glowing river.
Down below this cloud / sits a town in grids of white / twilight and streetlamps.
Freezing while walking, / catching up to late sun rays, / sky becomes a beach.
Vision renews through / looking out of eyes that see / snowflake uniqueness.
Peaks dice clouds and beam / blue sky upon snow I surf / down with thanks and praise.
Chain revolutions / like lightening or wild fire / or phoenix rebirth.
Mubarak has worn / out his welcome. Egyptians / shout change across globe.
Grey sky fades further / as I shake off this blue gloom, / shed the past like skin.
Green things sprouting out / of still snowy soil while rain / washes gloom, swells buds.
Marshmellowey snow / bouncing each board towards blue / sky, coating each branch.
Like flocks in flight let / imaginations unite, / democratically.
Flaming mounds of coals / from town workers burning brush, / today's sole outing.
Snowboard-spinning round / a tree, landing in cushions / of sunny soft snow.
Shadows of tulips / fade and redefine themselves / through the sky's movements.
Thoughts leak from glances, / dirtying or brightening / those who perceive them.
Slants of evening sun / on raked mountain soil. Spring / sprouting bright green life.
In tangerine light / a svelte cat's silhouette waits; / starlings bathe above.
