Snow

 

The day has quickly

Turned into a Zhivago day,

No sleighs,

No bells,

No Russian fur,

Just a beautiful blanket

Of white snow

Tucked to the edges

Of The Island,

Just the erotic echo

Of lovers’ laughter

As they run for

Hot chocolate,

For hot beds,

Just the image

Of Pasternak

In the falling flakes,

Pausing,

His teeth

On the end

Of his pen,

As he pens

 More magic

Somewhere.
