unexpected snowfall

Tristan Robert Lange

the scene is quite picturesque
as the snow falls silently,
the white stillness
deafening.
flake
  by
       crystalized
      flake
       falls
   effortlessly
            to
the fluff-encrusted ground,
blanketing the earth
with an isolating,
haunting
pall.
      the
   silence is
          appalling
      even as
        it is
        appealing;
a misanthropic heaven
that forever begets a
codependent’s
hell.
      the
    snow
  falls harder,
            faster,
         quiet-
      er
than it ever has before,
deepening the cold,
icy solitude’s
hollowed
tomb.
we
  were
all mute
   within
    the
     womb.
the silence of the storm
brings the need to
scream aloud;
nobody
ever
     hears.
   the
snowflakes
      fall
    upon
    bedazzled
eyes
and deaf ears that won’t hear
the screams of those
suffering outside
their pretty
window
pane.
