The glacier cracks
unfreezing with tears of meltwater
He turns out the light as he leaves
In the valley
mist is a net over a snared rabbit
momentarily free
to rush like water
The glacier breathes, shuddering to gather snow
around her, becoming a woman.
Around her, becoming a woman

momentarily free

He turns out the light as he leaves
unfreezing with tears of meltwater
the glacier cracks
