Snowfall

Folder: 
Unpublished pieces

Snow falls on the balcony. 
Relentlessly. 
Vicariously. 
It indicates a passion that 
nobody wants to embrace. 
A distance that is 
              too far to travel. 
I go there. 
Looking. 
Seeking. 
Wanting to know why the snow 
is not as white 
                    as it used to be. 
I don't speak the language 
of winter snow. 
I don't understand the symbolism 
of changing seasons. 
I can't be what I am not. 
I can't seek what I do not 
                      want to find. 
If I lay flat on the balcony, 
       will the snow completely cover me?
