Ice Dome

Coleridge’s Pleasure Dome of Kubla Khan:

It was a miracle of rare device,
A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice!
 
 
One cold day freezes into the next.
Sunshine momentarily warms ice droplets, refreezing in saber-tooth jaws.
Hazy-hued dome of white reveals naked branches casting stark on the horizon.
White tomorrows promise rare pleasures Kubla Khan cannot know.
