The Quiet Colony Whispers of green tongues curl from the tree’s breath. Not growth, but memory—etched into rough skin. Time blooms sideways here, slow and certain. A quiet conspiracy between light and lichen. Nothing moves, yet everything is listening.

Snow Cones for Caribou The caribou’s dark eyes scanned the white expanse, finally settling on the familiar green fringe clinging to the shadowed branch. Each snow-laden strand of lichen was a tiny beacon, a frozen delicacy in the vast stillness. It nudged its muzzle through the icy crystals, a fleeting taste of earth and survival in the heart of winter’s hold.

The Last Snow Knows

It falls without urgency, this last snow—drifting more from memory than sky. It does not bite or blind; it merely lands, as if out of habit. A gesture. A goodbye. It traces the old logs like a lover running fingers over a sleeping face, not ready to leave, not ready to stay. There is no storm in it—only the quiet insistence of something finishing itself. Beneath it, life waits—wet, thawing, uncoiling in shadows. The snow does not know it is the last, but the earth does. And in that silence, the air holds something tender: not an ending, but the echo of one.

Nothing About This Is Neutral $Against the backdrop of Executive Order 14168, the fractured paintbrush on a dark canvas symbolizes the National Endowment for the Arts' drastic shift away from supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. The stark contrast between the vibrant potential of artistic expression and the encroaching darkness reflects the chilling impact of funding cuts under conservative mandates. As marginalized artists face unprecedented challenges, the arts community must rally to protect the transformative power of creative freedom.$
