UNCARVED block



Uncarved       Block
By   Pearcemelville

Blizzard frozen Ice
An Uncarved Block
Wind Howls a Cold
UnRelentling Force
Shards Sharp Hard
Pitting Slicing Hole
    Trough Widening
 lengthens onethen
   two More a Score   
Cuttingscrapingin
StripDeepdeeper
Evening this began
An UnCarved Block

Blizzard
Frozen Ice
An Uncarved Block
Night
Snow now crystal Flakes
Falling here
Floating There
Soothing Blizzard Scars
Dawn  Dew
Morning
Now The
Carved
Block
