Snowdrops

Secrets
that lie beneath
the drifting virgin snow
will be revealed when the snow melts
dead white

Snowdrops
1. A bulbous European herb, Galanthus invalid, of the amaryllis family, bearing nodding white flowers that often appear while the snow is on the ground.
2. Russian slang for a body that lies buried in the winter snow emerging in the thaw.
