—a poem where the prey is warmth and the trap is citrus
He tracked the cold through needled pine,
A flask of frost, a loaded spine.
No sun, no sound—just breath like thread,
And one last hunt inside his head.
Yukon Jack, so bold and sweet,
A sugar kiss with poison feet.
Then Jäger came, that forest bite,
A darker path beneath the light.
An orange flash—brief, wild, precise—
A flare across the hunting ice.
The cold, it cracked. The glass, it gleamed.
And in that sip, the wild screamed.
No antlers hung, no fur was worn,
Just memory in citrus torn.
He drank, and snow began to fall—
Not white, but red… and not at all.
