lies dormant until the sun steals
the chill and leaves a puddle to
evaporate solidity

it's just a scene, just a description of what one might learn in science class, but it's amazing.
you said so much in so little, and the imagery was fantastic.
thank you so much for entering and welcome to the prelim finals!
