Snow

warm in the cold

thought you might like to know

what I will be  

a liar to deny the frills of winter

frozen heart I walk alone

desolate streets, Christmas trees



you should have been here

I know you’d love it

with me you won’t

snow falling on the head

shrug it off shoulder blades

catch the rain before it drops



sitting here

temporarily  

on a creaky wooden bench  

reminded me of

how you’d glare at everyone

the pretty and the old



if there is something I can take from this

is a memory of a call

your voice - crisp and inconsiderate

shot through the chill air

plans for the summer, the need to get warmer

to end it all
