blanketed by Angela Thomasthe thing about a thick blanket of snow that i love
is the hush. the quiet whisper of city sounds being muffled
from their harsh everyday clang and screech. people holding
onto shards of warmth, clinging to scarves wound
around their bodies. it's a different kind of existence
in silence and with thoughts coming slowly. the bus pulls
up with a windy whoosh and i shudder. glasses fog up
between the cold and heat of small victories.
the bus wipers pulse on against the snow, forge forward
slowly, deliberately, we move down the blanketed roads
until the ban falls and we all stop moving. where will you be?
my thoughts travel. my hands twitch. my mind wanders.
wrapping my legs around your body, how your hand searches
for mine while we sleep. in the hush, my thoughts roar. 02/23/2015 Posted on 02/23/2015 Copyright © 2024 Angela Thomas
