last night light flakes fell
 to make a snow-bright morning
 (soul slightly renewed)
 
 i drove in silence
 not able to think of words
 that she’d understand
 
 the unspoken sat
 between us like the car crash
 we saw just later
 
 she spoke and screamed out
 (firemen swarmed the panic
 of woman on phone)
 
 (i still had no words
 nothing about the late night,
 her sneaking downstairs)
 
 (nothing on found phone
 retrieved in secret to watch
 the blossoms of lust)
 
 just sadness, light flakes
 falling from the winter sky
 crashing our morning
 
 so we said goodbye
 (i gave her my hat and gloves.
 she gave me a grin.)
 
 (till midday flakes fell
 then the sun burned all to mush
 thoughts still unspoken)
