April 17, 2011

The last snow of the year falls on exposed grass.  The flakes are lush like rose petals falling in an ancient stadium, on a parade of kings.  The white flowers rest in the laurel crowns of noble men and women.  The ground quickly becomes covered by the frozen manna.  I perceive your hand shaking the snow globe, the breath of your mouth driving the confetti.  And the downpour rests as suddenly as it quickened.  Icing sugar on a gingerbread landscape.
