When from Arctic corridors
wind's enforced passage
in snow's sustained
a whiteout wrestles
across (warlike) wastes
forests overturn
trees ripped untimely
in sudden frost
shine aslant thrown down
weather or whither
such losses gain
a roll call of what's gone
gathers clouds
on an interior horizon
never measured

O deceptive mouth
covering up
for the heart like that.
