Ice crackles louder

 

Than your pellet gun

 

 

Splinter of our mute

 

Bleed on frost,

 

 

 

Scarlet white scarlet

 

Roars of our love:

 

 

It was ever Always,

 

 

You are the lost

 

in our silence.

Swans hold a very special place in the communities where they choose to live, as they should.

I hope they're caught Lena. Please update this piece once they are

I remember this happening. Such a vivid picture of wanton destruction of something beautiful in a moment. I wonder if that hit home to the perpetrators once done. Rhiannon
