Frozen Image – v5

Walk in the woods

Down the path

Away from the road,

Bustle of the highway

Cold of winter

Catch of air

Crunch of snow

Snap of branch

Burst of downy wings

Festooned the ground

Vole track

Ended abruptly

Impressions, depth

Catches of light and shadow

The beat of predator feathers

Pressed, thrust into the crust

Frozen image

Fleeting, until melting

Life and death

Off the road

Down the path
