sudden as sunset

as sudden as sunset
the sadness descends
with old blood weight
on the pristine of snow
she shifts inside, sighs
finger draws the frosted panes

    and still beneath the glass
    a pulse remembers warmth
    breath fogs the cold for a moment
    a small defiance
    what settles does not stay forever
    even frost learns the shape of hands
