Snowcastle
We could build sandcastles in the snow
Perfect white houses
Neat and clean
Pristine and smooth
Sculpted in heaven
By the devil’s pail
And with an angel’s shovel
Piercing Earth
The storm is coming
Blizzard’s wrath creating splendor
Death in blankets
Beautifying life
And apprehending values within a white light at night
We can build castles in the snow
Sandcastles with rooms with views
Snowcastles
Crystalline, diamondized towers
Possessing the most splendorous nonsense
I’d like to build our castle in the snow
So it can melt
And we can start over again
Sandcastles are washed away
Losing form and drifting
Snow may melt but it will come again
Unless a lightning bolt strikes sandcastles
And makes it glass
It cannot glisten
Snow castles may permeate the ground
And bring forth grass
For a lawn
For a white house
With a picket fence
And some number and a half of children
But for right now
We can build sandcastles in the snow
I’d like that
