Newology

I've never wept at
The first snowfall
Before, nor
Felt the cold in my bones
Noticed the wet which
Pools and swirls
For isn't snow just
Rain moving slowly
In a white dress?
Oh god, maybe
That's why I'm crying

The white stains so easily
When in the wrong place

And I can see the stains
This time
The chill and mess and all
Exist and I don't feel like I do
Save for the wet which is my
Heart leaving my eyes
Like shattered bits of glass
I can hear them
Sinking into soft snow
I've never heard that
Before.
