Day Thirteen - #WoPoWriMo - Roulette

Show me a Russian roulette of breeze,

confetti tumbling from skeleton trees, a dark

wonderland of the winter freeze and a stretching

necklace of red;

winking and blinking up

ahead, to light

all my yellow brick road…

Let me follow

bright sugar-drops,

all the way home, like a fabled,

breadcrumb trail;

and tell me then, a

snow-queen tale, as I turn

Fortune’s fragile wheel.

   Ice-encrusted, it melts to reveal, awesome

moments of sharpened

breath; and I look back

and forth

at depths

of tomorrow,

and tomorrow, 
all at once,

   

as fallen stars creep up on me,

and whisper,

they were there all along.
