sunlight on snow banks

"snowmelt" was my login on The Well for awhile, and "lacy ice + heat" was a pseudonym I used there.

It's supposed to evoke the thought of being high in the mountains on a sunny day and watching as the accumulated snow slowly melts and gathers together into little streams that go plunging down the mountain side.

But it's a double entendre, and the idea of melting through deception is also intended.

Just two different kinds of warmth... ;-)
