Fallen Snow
I collapsed into the fallen snow 
 That landed weeks ago 
 Its surface rigid 
 Protecting the soft blanket of the land 
 Like a piece of chocolate, a creamy inside 
 
 My limbs went to work 
 Chipping away, into a mold 
 Features mimicking mine 
 A soft fingertip 
 My own 
 
 I rise from the snow 
 Carefully as could be
 Leave the imprint of belly 
 As my mitten propelled the rest up 
 Constructing this cherub 
 
 Grass and weeds frame the face
 Speckled dirt, naive freckles 
 Radiance among the dirtiness that time leaves us 
 Melting away
 Into oblivion
