I would watch the lake ice break up
Monstrous blocks
Competing for space as they expanded
Working against each other
Constantly shifting positions
At night in the silence
Calling out
Haunting as whale songs
Mournful under the moon
Against this background
We are snowfall
Delicate flakes fluttering to earth
Melting quickly into dark water
Mix of salt and sand running
Back so fast to that icy world
Under too much pressure
To stay for long
