Like snowflakes (Day 1054)

Night drifts closer 

still   but not the one 

you hoped for

waiting all along 

for you to meet it 

face to face

these thorns of graceless 

words catch at 

your fingertips  your tongue

the ones that fell 

like snowflakes have 

all melted away  remember 

where the lilacs grew

you left him there  maybe 

their drowsy scent

is what you miss
