world

world
i press my nose
against the cold pane
of glass;

staring…

out into the vast
white world that
lies beyond
the confines of this

heated room.
the pale snow,
the blue skies,
the clouds
forming overhead.

all i know

is that i turned to you
and was lost. my love
for reason forgotten,

my sense
of balance,
my place
in the world –
shaken.

flipped up,
hanging
from the ceiling –
wide-eyed…. so

in love.

for my love, who i have been married to for 9 years today.
