Magnitude
March 31, 2016
Silver bellies
skate across the plateau
blazing a trail of diamonds,
snacking on fish and bliss,
they plunge into euphoria
Crystal rubble
surges off the crag above
sparking a gleaming flare,
extinguishing in the frigid sun,
they tumble like yesterday's hail
The emperors
screech to a standstill
straining to catch a closer look,
standing hypnotized as
the earth calves,
echoing beneath
their tiny,
tiny feet.
