sometimes the layers . are more visible, bridging . all realities
it isn’t often . layers underneath something . are exposed to view
each layer added . will alter the appearance . but not what is true
added over time . the layers are forgotten . until the spring thaw
in shedding layers we show we’re ready for change but some jump too soon
under the layers . of noise, there is a stillness . that we rarely see
our infrastructure is hidden under layers of forgotten time
the city quiets and everything slows down as the snow piles up
peel back the layers because it is what’s inside that really does count
