                 (Jesus swept the tabernacle floor late on the eve of morn
                 And though I know that Hell is hot,
                 I never pictured heaven quite so cold…)

There were slushed recollections of snow angels
And distant fears of something like tonight.
I am
Seeing coal black hearts
In frozen skin
All the beauty swept in slushes.

Now a fire burns inside the living room
And blankets scattered
Cannot keep me warm inside
As I watch my snowman
Melt away.


- And so it was that time stood still -
     (blink, breathe, stand, fight)

Dixie,
thanks for 'em, always needed and loved! It just snowed all day here in WA and now I'm here home alone for the night.. just makes a person reminisce.. in the most melancholy of ways it seems   ..ah and I'm talkative!
Love ya!

Always, Alyssa
