The Double-Sided Coin of a Mild Winter

By Ren Powell | 05/01/2021

Every ending // is edged with ice
Sharp starts // spread like fissures
like lace // unraveling in the light

Not this not that // nearly just
crepe-paper crystals // children with blunt
scissors slicing // tearing through the season
