Wish upon a snowflake

by Jaime Fradera

Now here is something
I have always wondered about.
If you were to take a snowflake,
Freeze it motionless in space,
Suspend the law of gravitation,
Magnify the snowflake say, two hundred times,
And make Time stop,
So the snowflake wouldn’t melt,
And made the snowflake
So it wouldn’t fall apart,
What would this magnified snowflake feel like?
What dimensions would it have?
Would it be thick … or thin? …
Would it be six-sided … eight-sided?
Would it feel like gossamer? … Like cotton candy?
Would it feel delicate and strong?
Would there be intricate designs
Upon its surface I could feel?
If only I could catch them
Before they are deformed by impact.
If only I could catch them for my study
Before my heated fingers make them melt,
Before they have a chance to bounce away
And get trampled underfoot.
I wish upon a star …
I wish upon a snowflake …
