Winter storm
A haiku
winter storm —
Poseidon and Helios
clashing weapons
—
The storm feels less like weather than argument, forces meeting with no intention of yielding. Sea and sun are imagined as weapons because language reaches for scale when nature exceeds it. In the clash, violence becomes spectacle, but also balance — each power defining itself against the other. Winter arrives not quietly, but through collision that briefly makes the world feel myth-sized.
