Breath of Life
(inspired by the Upside Down exhibit at the Menil Collection)
The cold beauty of snow
fills the enormous Arctic.
The lit-up sun glistens
in the snow. I fall down
in the angel-white snow.
Lost somewhere in the snow
I hear the beautiful snow owls
hooting. It’s so relaxing being
upside down in the breath
of life.
