With a few trips to snow planned within the next weeks, I started contemplating my relationship with winter…
Rules of Attraction
If similarities attract,
we should be best friends
or something close to that
the snow-white type beauty
with an icy smile,
boring, bitchy, brutal-cold
both you and I
we are so alike
I should like you, no doubt.
Yet every time you come to town,
I’d like to hide or hibernate
or flee
where palm trees and beaches
drinks with ice
Italy, Spain
or Southern France
somewhere, where either Celsius or Fahrenheit
would melt you in my eyes,
in case you decided to follow me,
groom chasing his runaway bride.
That similarities attract, I can’t deny,
yet with one exception
of winter and I
