I am melting. There is me and us and the air between us. The falling is the best part. Will I ever start again? See me crystalline, and marvel at all of us different but packed, whispering across space. The best thing I ever did was grow into the shape I am. I slicked the roads. I slicked the roads but in the morning I refract the light. I am for growing, then falling, then rising. For children not knowing how I came to be. For curiosity.

a Chicago snowflake
We met on a random moonless night People and their laughter by the beach Waves mutely crashing You were dancing with somebody I knew Dancing out of tune What a sight that was. And here you are The strongest foundation my soul shivers at your sound my mornings, evening and night my comfort zone my existence revolving around you You called it friendship I had other names Your walls couldn’t keep my feelings away I saw what you wanted me to see I read what you wanted me to read I wish you felt what I wanted you to feel But I trudged along Alone, in my feelings Today I stand in this void Without you I have your number You have mine But today, only the silence is talking Words have turned away And now I wonder If you struggle too What if society has pinned you down If you have given in and moved on I wish I could have one last conversation To tell you How I’ve moved on To know Why you’ve moved on There are five stages of grief And after grief comes rebirth I can enjoy the rain now The birds and the clouds make me smile I'm not scared to go to the beach I can hope, I can dream I can love I can be, Happier with just me.
