Sit tight & dont you worry. winter will be over with soon enough
by Jolie JordanThe ground is layed perfect
like your flesh to my arms
but the sky remains paled,
as I slur a plea to the stars
and the snow that swishes
carried from roof to wind,
as pieces of white carefully line the branches
protruding like bones from the skeleton of an oak tree,
I'm finding it hard to believe how beautiful everything is tonight
(and how,
it would be so much prettier
if you were tucked away in a body bag.) 03/07/2004 Posted on 03/07/2004
