a baby's winter
i walked into a cold homewith my hopes frozen on the white kitchen tiles
only the clatter of
the pots and pans
just to make a noise
i laughed at the noise
but it hurt.
it wasn't a cry for help,
i was just so
lonely
i put on the same scarf everyday
i drowned in the snow
i thought about the blizzard when i was 12
when the snow devoured our front yard
and ate all the flowers
and i was happy i didn't have to go to school,
but i didn't want to go outside
when i did
i wore a pink puffy jacket
and hopped like a rabbit, with tiny albino eyes
with tiny pink tears.
"let's go inside," she said.
"you're going to get sick."
my parents, i left them
i looked at the ground
and i saw one little stem
and it crumbled in my hand.
