On Purpose
trees changed
by the winter stand wavering; thin silhouettes stark against cellophane sky. sunlight no longer streams through branches, but easily rains down, carving string-thick shadows arching over white roads. the trees were full months ago, rustling softly like paper flutes with every nudge from the wind; now you tell me that black ice is coming, and as the trees shift into slumber, we should brave the wet gravel as it slides from beneath our feet. things changed this winter, words settling onto skin just as warm breath clings like chalk onto frozen glass. let me just tell you that I fell for you, so quietly that there was no thunderous crack as icebergs broke apart; nor epiphanies and earthquakes; no bursting concrete. but my heartbeat was a leaf, light and translucent, falling in the sun the way all other leaves fall - careless; for the dirt, for the snow, and only then for you.
