The snow,
Whirls,
Spins,
And turns;
Shapes in the air.
A floating, flowing, fluidity;
Such substance in something
So diaphanous.
A performance,
Just as magical as
The starlings
They had watched
At dusk
By the pier.
Swooping
And gliding
The birds
Danced in the darkening sky.
That erratic black cloud;
Morphing, flowing, conjuring...
Forming new dimensions
While the glowing sun
Balances precariously,
Poised on the edge of the world
And then
Sinks,
Into the sea,
Leaving pink
Goodbye kisses
On the clouds.
Now,
Two figures are
Stood by the window,
Looking out and
Watching
The crystal dust drift
Within the flow of the wind.
A giant ghost's display of ballet;
Spinning, twisting, turning...
Leaning on each other
In silence,
In the darkness,
The skies' cold ashes
Sparkle
In the night,
Under the rays of the artificial
Street light
Outside.
Soon the train will leave the station,
Get further and further away...
Settling in the west for longer than a day.
Swallowed by the horizon.
Physics in the way.
She will freeze her face
And wave,
Borrowing a stoic's smile,
Safely held together,
Until within the veil
Of the warm taxi home,
Her eyes
Melt.
