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 $Against the backdrop of Executive Order 14168, the fractured paintbrush on a dark canvas symbolizes the National Endowment for the Arts' drastic shift away from supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. The stark contrast between the vibrant potential of artistic expression and the encroaching darkness reflects the chilling impact of funding cuts under conservative mandates. As marginalized artists face unprecedented challenges, the arts community must rally to protect the transformative power of creative freedom.$

This is not death, but the long, slow rehearsal for return — to soil, to silence, to something shapeless yet whole.
