Still too pale

Teeth of wind
ripping wool and ice
my eyelash
grip my groin
remind me that the sunshine
still is pale in March

Ices by Nicholas Roerich

Amaya introduce us to the Shadorma at dVerse. I only made a very short one. Winter is back again.

  1. A beautiful way to say winter will not let go! Do you even have time to tan in the summer, Bjorn? (Just joking with you.) Where I am from in the US it’s still snowing (northern Indiana.) Nice words!

  2. I like how the first four lines feel like an incantation — like you’re telling the spirits (or a cold woman) what to do to you.

  3. Indeed, March sun can sometimes be fool’s gold. We’re a smidge warmer here in Seattle, but I can relate to your chill all too well.

  4. Vividly described! And makes me glad all over again that I no longer live so far from the Equator.

  5. Oh yes, we had a couple of decent days, but Old Man Winter still has a tight grip on the calendar. The succinctness make me feel the biting cold more.
