The Untainted Snow

By lupus tenebrae

Smoke
follows
beauty, much
like how a stray
shi-

ver
follows
the blanched and
delicate lace
of

theĀ 
first un-
tainted snow:
as a sober-
ing

thought;
jealous,
of magic,
attached at the
hip.

  • A former member wrote: It is a daunting poem – but we can take consolation from the fact that, by the time we reach the end of this remarkable, powerful poem, lupus has answered it convincingly, for themself at least. This is an acute and insightful poem that lodges in the ear and sear themselves on the vision. Scholar
