forced return

When snow receded into lace
soft emulates a certain grace
of optimistic evermore—
When golden in the afternoon
snow’s off-white dreams unbridled swoon
like quilts upon a marriage bed—
When rippled winded yards are laid
in time with lovesong serenade
embellishments of love in store
by spirits manifest in chill
alternatives to safety, still
receive it as secure instead.
