snow leopard

born from a dead fire
after snow
sprinkled its spell
upon it

fur of flint
so cold
you don’t spark

the ghost of green
haunts your eyes
as you haunt the mountains

everything is ash
fire whispers to you
in your dreams

you haunt the mountains
of my mind
carry secrets through storms
piss upon rocks
the scent of smoke

no matter how long it takes
endure the cold stare of stars
find my fire
let us see green again
by looking into each other’s eyes
