Smoke and Snowflakes

Gears push pistons

Clicking and whistling

A steampunk dirge

Life pressed in death

Into oil and coal

Into heat and smoke

A black blanket

Wrapping the world

Keeping it warm

Spikes and spires

Peeking out of clouds

To glimpse the sun

Snowflakes melting into raindrops

Beating crescendo on the ground

Dying whispers of wind

Into baby breath breezes

And susurrus songs

Carving cracks and craters

Into the earth's white shell

Trickling down to meet

Peeking tendrils and buds

Rising into the light
