Snow

by Thea Kinyon

 

 

day and day

"it's all the same fucking day"

snow

and more snow

and a smile on a girl's face

and lowered eyes

glance aside

some poetic soft-skinned girl

couldn't ever have

 

carpe diem

written on a dusty wall

snow?

and cedar trees

and pinon trees

and dusty washboard roads

and Beatles songs

"black bird singing in the dead of night

take these broken wings and learn to fly

I think it's all the same fucking night

 

night and night

 

november nights

and snow

a girls smile

orange from street lamp sulfur

and a leather smoky smell

and another starry night

"this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you"

does the night sway

after the speakers are blown

does the road sway

in the moonlight

december night

 

"softly spoken lies"

nothing's simple

were the truest things the worst?

"when the shark bites"

say it's like it was

 

snow
