Little icicles,
growing into larger ones,
clutter my window

Precipitation:
Unique specks from the heavens.
I think of mankind.

Similarities
abound on the ground around
except it's pure white.

Nature is beauty.
Beauty demands to be felt;
warm smiles and cold cheeks.

Earth's voice is blinding!
Winter's flurries of anger.
"I will be noticed!"

We, the impure flakes,
shovel, tainting purity.
We long for control.

Filth demands to spread.
Beauty and pain, to be felt.
Life demands respite.

Murky icicles,
dripping on clean snow beneath,
clouding my brain. Drip.
