Snow Globe
beautiful boy in dad glasses hands me cardamom cocoa.
blizzard outside, windows fog with cozy heat. under
quilt, goose feathers make it snow inside too. boy
makes malas, I curl into his flannel. this time last year, I
wanted to die. now, crows cackle circling overhead,
trees naked and shiver. clouds low, make the world
small but boy's 250 square feet apartment is plenty. it's
december and I have not left bed today, everything I
want within reach. we have enough eggs and beer to get
through the storm.
