hugging earth
Posted: November 13th, 2008, 1:31 am
sunday afternoon. he shakes the tree. it rains leaves like hearts on fire like love letters kissing the earth like you made me feel alive…
but winter is coming & leaves are dying. soon it will snow again and millions of tiny snowflakes will touch it's lips to the earth instead falling falling on the ground. not shattering, no. just softly gathering like filigree paper angels joined by the hands & layered ad infinitum
fast forward time…look love, they float. they form an ice blanket hugging earth
rewind. we sit on porch steps. i wrap my arms around him from behind. i kiss his neck even if he shivers
sun is warm today & earth is round. and you are never never and so far away…
