Nope. Nothing white can cover what's red. Also, attempts at coldness can't hide warmth. She is dying, the bird. But the snow is meant to preserve her. For rest, speck/speak I all. Awl. Did you stab her? Shoot her with a an arrow? And now you're just watching her die, not saying a word. It's the cycle of life, though. Hunting. Killing. Eating.
I love the way those three words sound together in the first line. There's a "no" sound, followed by two "ow" sounds. Reluctance. Denial. Pain. Pain times two.
I also see "snow cow read bows," whatever that means. I can make stuff up, but we both know you didn't mean any of this. I just love having something to puzzle around with. I love puzzles, of course. All types.
In "blood," I always see "be lewd." In "feathers," I always see "feat, hers." Or maybe "feet." Why are her feet bloody?
"Cowered" also hides "coward."
LOL. Do you like anagrams? "overshadow" = "wod has rove" ... Or "DOW."
Hades wrov ... Hades V War, changing the O to an A. Yes. I'm fully aware that my brain is broken.
beautiful and with a touch of sadness
