You curl tight in coldness. Snow among our sheets. Frost upon the windows. January streets. Fragile frozen flowers, tall and tender blooms. Crystals for the vases given to these rooms. Bent and seen to quaver near the dust-gray vent. Is this warmth to savor, or to circumvent? Frost upon the windows, melting down the sill. It's not snow, but ashes. Give voice or I will. |

Ah snow and love, both so pretty when they first fall, not so when they stay fallen. Enjoyed |

 (big hugggsssssss) This is marvelous, sweet friend, I guess one can only tell the other apart by actually feeling that substance and beholding if it silts like sand between your fingers or not and such that option can be terrifying! (sigh) This is excellent, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Michael, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!
