words heavy
like fresh wet snow
piling up on the roof
I huddle below
timbers creak
heavy laden moan
threaten to collapse
my comfort zone
disarming conversation
probing the core
uncovering a new world
I desire to explore
only one way out
no easier fate
grab my bat
step up to the plate
like fresh wet snow

and I know you’ve been

cascading in a soft scale
down the cage of bones
around my heartbeat.
you kiss me
knowing
the colors that drift
in my mind
like water beneath
all the bridges that were
burned for me
and you stay.
