Winter was never my favorite season.

It’s 3:05 a.m.
and I am thinking I just
made you up to hurt myself.
Remember last winter:
they blamed the snow in our hands
for our blue flesh,
ocean snow settled
where they used to swim.

It’s 10:33 in the morning
and I am winter.
I am ice;
snow and sunrise;
chilly mornings from another time.
Tales of my winter heart
beckon like a big, flashing,
neon sign that says steal compass,
sail north,
and disappear.


It’s 4:15 p.m.
The snowfall is so silent.

I know a place where
even the crickets can’t be heard,
winter air choking
every
silence.

It was a cold,
winter morning when you left:
when we realized it was a different kind of cold
caused by 3mm of distance
between our fingertips.

This is about forgetting your silence
and my vague memories.
The weatherman didn’t fail me –

when love grows cold,
ice shards crystalize on the black
lake surrounding my heart.
