history of story on lips in hindsight

Looking back at complicated snowy youth
The angles all change
With subtle shifts of light
All those refractions
Against white
Look new and primary
After the sun sets
There is kicked up dirt
Tracks that show shadow well
Wells that become deep shadow
Shadows that become darkened earth
All speckled
grainy
Accenting the spectacle of blackness
In dots
and patches
More real now
more substantial than snow
a plane laid across the top
matches better
with things that are spoken
In the fall
