I Would Be
by Emily Anderson
May 28, 2008 — Published in Verse
I would be the snow
if it meant I could cling
to you, melt on your warm skin,
bring a flush to your cheeks,
and then disappear.
I would be beautiful
as I fell frozen from heaven,
a million miniature angels,
to land softly on your unyielding
shoulders and your hands,
your soft soft skin in wool mittens.
But I would rather fall
onto your upturned face,
your fine messy eyebrows,
closed eyes, parted lips
welcoming my kiss.
