A six-pointed flake has descended
from the heavens onto my palm
to caress a pure lamb soul
and coelesced
at the tip of a sapling into a glittery glint of a star
by the scent of a sweet braided bread
in misty traces in snowdrifts left;
beneath the ice, bubbles have reached for the light,
a fish eye has glistened and a slippery carp has gasped for breath
in the depth of mulled ruby wine.
