Steamboat: Gains and Losses

February 7, 2021 / firmlov / Leave a comment
i'll write a haiku
as easy as this damn day
filled with lines. and love.
you will never know
how hard i've tried to earn this.
you can taste the snow.
you can taste blue sky.
it comes in moments, this love.
moments found on slopes.

Ski Reality

powder power pulls
relentlessly through the snow
bringing us to light
not what i had planned
(before we were so broken)
yet bright, all the same

Ice, Water, Steam

December 30, 2020 / firmlov / Leave a comment

a cold winter walk

along the Colorado

right where it begins

a hot springs retreat

to strip the cold off our skins,

bring heat to our bones
