First snowfall blankets
unraked beds of leaves. Nature’s

Don’t you know no girls
allowed? Threaten the big boys,
they call you a bitch.
I’d have crossed party
lines for you ’til today. Where
was your chivalry?
In another world
I am prettier, skinny,
naturally blonde.
My life is content
driven, looking for the next
big thing to embrace.
Decided last night –
Caribbean for Christmas.
Will work for travel.
All day my eyes itched
as if they were allergic
to viewing my life.
Wet dampness always
seems colder than that first soft
warm blanket of snow.
Busyness is best
to occupy, medicate
you. Endings are hard.
You’ll never again
feel pain, joy both at once. Be
so at odds with life.
