gelid: extremely cold; icy
It snowed about 4 inches last night. Naturally, I wrote a poem inspired by my walk to the store in the snow this morning to get almond milk.
gelid
the snow is like a thick sheet of cotton bolted to the earth
a cloth to dampen all the sound and bring silence to our turf
the snow, it covers everything in light
turning all times into day, even the glowing night
heavy with its crystals, branches bow and timbers burrow
standing sunken in its midst, cheeks pinched red, my brow unfurrows
