~Crystaline~

like wine
through water
you altered
the color of my mind
from its
frozen northern
crystalline drift
simple and true
arctic foxes
erase the snows
footprints

like a dream 
that’s always set 
just a little too late
a stain of time
stretches the days
like a lazy cat does
wake up 
and recount them
but if I told you
there would be a certain look 
on your face
and I know
what that look means
the pleasure 
of recognition

sacrifice
turns into
sea foam
shaping 
the shapeless
into form

the beauty of a moment

is that it’s fleeting
