I like this. I'm glad you revised.
If you are willing to revise again, I think there are some minor changes to the texture of the poem that will enhance its beauty.
- The clash of the sound of 'initial' next to 'snowfall' jars the ear unnecessarily.
- I feel as if 'dispersing' in the last line is not the best word choice.
"But then, the valley turns to a vast gap of sand
and the tepid, ginger mountains quiver
in response to the stars’ flash in blue"
This stanza is beautiful. I would take out the comma in the first line. Also, the transition from 'quiver' to 'in response' is another slightly jarring one. Perhaps you could break the stanza into two sentences, or simply change the phrasing somewhat.
This is a really good piece. I always love Ars Poeticas, and you have managed a fine one.
