I wake to the unfamiliar familiar:
The sound of snowfall
Books by Thoreau
Snapshots of a roiling sea
The stained-glass daybreak
The dizzy framework of her warm body
There are patterns in repeat:
A kiss
A reminisce
A fleur-de-lis
They
Find me
Bind me
Intertwine with me
I am winter, she whispered, I am spring
In medias res, you shall fall for me all over again
