🇩🇪 Germany · leading poet of the nation's field
“Winterlicht”
89out of 100
The lamp posts hum a colder key,
the snow edits the crowded square.
What stays is what the cold sets free:
one breath, made visible in air.
From the judges
Crisp and architectural; the final visible breath is a small, earned epiphany.
