heavy cloud
the sun behind them
hazy shadows

III.III
Following the trail across the plateau,
she looks down to the street so far below
expecting to see someone mashed like gateaux;
an abstract done in crimson on the snow.
The scene below her, as her stomach lurches
from an unexpected source: l'appel du vide;
the service road as pristine as the churches
in the books she once was made to read.
A giant pile of snowy bags of rubbish;
no inspiration that her mind can suit;
no sign of sudden end to someone's anguish
just a bin outside the rubbish chute
