_{Making Snow Angels

i.

dancing merrily,
floating on a breeze,
snowflakes land in my hair
and on the tip of my nose.
I twirl and
dance,
making snow angels
I wish could fly.

ii.

"i've never seen snow," you told me.
So I put some in a box,
marked it fragile,
and shipped it to Florida.
But by the time it got there
all that was left was
a wet box and
a soggy note that said

thinking of you.

iii.

i lay in a snow bank
and think of kissing you,
my fingers and toes numb
(but i don't care)

iv.

i mailed you a ticket
so we could make snow angels
together
but it was
returned to sender
with a note that said
i prefer sand over snow.

v.

i don't make snow angels anymore.

they remind me of you.}
