Look Closer (in Le Marc) by Franklin Timpson //
Winter Wedding by McKell Hadlock //
Dancing in the air, whirling about, each in attendance of the greatest white—
happy, and careless as they leap at great heights.
Each outfit unique in design, though the very same in their color.
Each tuxedo, each dress a-flutter.
What will come with the morrow?
Will they still be there? Happy and white?
Or is it to be the greatest sorrow?
To no longer take flight?
To dance, to leap no more?
To be happy, and white never more?
Enjoy them at every chance you can take—
for life is not very long for a snowflake.
