I’m looking for an angel in the snow, the kind you leave behind when you fall backward and believe the ground will remember you. I keep thinking I’ll find the outline where you were, wings pressed into the light. But snow doesn’t stop for a memory. It keeps falling, leaving no trace. So I look up, lie down, arms spread, and let the snow decide how long I’ll stay.
