SNOWGIRL

I.B. Rad

They found her naked*
propped up by a tree
erect and still
like the white of birches
against new snow
with only a ribbon of red
about her open mouth
to brighten a life
devoid of warmth.

* Paradoxically, when a person is freezing the capillaries in the skin may dilate before death inducing the sensation of unbearable warmth, causing the person to tear off their clothing.
