The Fabric of Ice
by A.J. Huffman
is fragile, a skin waiting to be breached
by the delicate petals of spring’s thaw.
I watch this pending miracle
as if from a sun’s vantage. Suspension
has never been a form of disbelief,
but rather a rising of belief. In possibility
we find salvation. In a blink,
the blush of rejuvenation emerges,
and I am flooded with the desire to change
my name to Rose.
