Cold morning.
A tricolor line
moves softly
through the drift.
The forest holds its breath
as you pass.
Low nose down,
you read what the wind
tries hiding
under frost.
Each step writes quiet proof
of the trail.
Lean hunter,
you are patience made
into bone—
then sudden
as a struck match, you’re
already gone.
