I wish we could stand
You and I
out
Today
alone together
just once more.
A world with so many edges
now softened
by the falling
snow
Flakes enormous
like spent dandelions
ready to seed
And catch them
on our tongues
laughing again
once more
Or that I could see
the exquisite flakes
fall
upon
your star-crossed lashes
and kiss your eyelids
miraculously
warm
again
