The Snow is not to blame

The snow is not to blame

In fact, it covers it up

All that I see is kindness

as the crystals float past

my window  

 

an endless letting

The Black Sea

Green

Green

Green

As far as the eye can see

Like,

Green clouds

Hugging the earth

Happiness overflowing into me  

 

Green Green

Sea Sea

The People The People

And me

Posts and pictures of people “seizing the day”

Each not so subtly saying

“Look at me look at me”

 

Instead…

                 With my first cigarette in hand

And looked at something ...
