this is just to say

i have fallen
in love
with the man
in the mirror

which you will
probably find
ridiculously
romantic

but that's me
and you
romance
in real life

an adult

today i am twenty six
no longer a child
not an adult

twenty six is the end of many things
the early years
the excuses

twenty six marks the beginning
of the unknown
of an adult life

but twenty six will not
change my wimsy or
challenge my dreams

today i am twenty six
now ready for
next adventure

snow one

i open my eyes
to no sound
and no time
'cause the ground
is blanketed by
silent white

all roofs are peaked
in white;
branches are drooped
with white beards
and there are no roads home
no tracks

there is no horizon
simple sky
simple ground
all blurred and white
we look up to
no sun

slippery feet move us
arms cling
and the snow drifts
happily into
our laughing
mouths

begin

at the beginning
because the middle
is
in

and the end
has not happened
the
end
