Snow starved by Shweta Garg

Snow Starved

by Shweta Garg

I was snow starved all this time
Was eager for the fall to
Skirt in its random leaves and make way
For the white candy floss
I was snow starved all this time
Had little crumbs of the polaroids
Munched nuggets of frost
Scrapped from old refrigerators
I was snow starved all this time
And was stuffed by the spokes in a flake
The giant blanket of snow
Smothered a tropical flower of my desire
