Blood red in the snow, a tiny spray of drops<\/p>\n

an arc of unjust accusations frozen in time.<\/p>\n

This place is more oil than air, echoes<\/p>\n

rusted metal teeth snapping taut on a hand full of claw.

This spot, here, where her foot landed, where the trap is sprung.<\/p>\n

She is white against the snow, like soft spikes of thin mercury, liquid,<\/p>\n

tufts of white fur glowing bright against the brutal iron clasp<\/p>\n

her nose quivers black and tiny, sees me, knows who I am.<\/strong>
